Trauma Practice: Tools for Stabilization and Recovery - Softcover

From reviews of the previous edition: Built on a strong empirically based foundation, this book is a must read for all therapists working with survivors of traumatic events. M.D. Lerner, President, American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress This important book - offers a comprehensive guide for clinicians working with the traumatized - also an excellent resource for trainers, teachers, and educators. C.R. Figley, Florida State University Traumatology Institute The authors' efforts have yielded a nifty paperback book that is loaded with good information... The presentation is down-to-earth, easy to comprehend, and written in a style that allows a good grasp of one principle before moving on to the next. I was impressed. J.C. Linton, in PsycCRITIQUES

The new edition of this structured tool-kit of techniques and protocols to assist therapists in their challenging work with trauma survivors has been substantially expanded and revised - making it even more effective tool at guiding clinicians through the maze of trauma treatment. With an emphasis upon cognitive-behavioral interventions, it provides resources and guidance for any psychotherapist working with any client. Using Herman's (1992) Triphasic Model - Safety & Stabilization, Remembrance & Mourning, and Reconnection - it presents an array of techniques, protocols, and interventions for each phase, described clearly, thoroughly, and in a structured, easy-to-follow manner.
