Trauma Practice: Tools for Stabilization and Recovery

By J. Eric Gentry, D. Franklin Schultz, Anna B. Baranowsky

Book Overview

Written to help guide clinicians through the maze of trauma treatment, this practical manual is effectively a structured tool-kit 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 & Stabilization, Remembrance & 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. A comprehensive, step-by-step guidebook, and an essential resource for all those treating trauma victims.
