Trauma Practice

Written to help guide clinicians through the maze of trauma treatment, this practical manual is effectively a structured toolkit of techniques and protocols to assist therapists in their challenging work with trauma survivors. With an emphasis upon cognitive-behavioral interventions, it provides resources and guidance for any psychotherapist working with any client.

The manual is divided into three main sections, corresponding to Herman’s (1992) Triphasic Model: Safety and Stabilization, Remembrance and Mourning, and Reconnection. For each of the three phases, it presents an array of techniques, protocols, and interventions, described clearly, thoroughly, and in a structured, easy-to-follow manner, in the four categories of cognitive, behavioral, body-oriented, and emotional/relational. This book promises to become an essential resource in trauma practice
