The Trauma Treatment Handbook: Protocols Across the Spectrum (Norton Professional Books (Hardcover))

With warmth and clinical expertise, Shapiro emphasizes the importance of facilitating a deep connection with each client; she guides readers through the basics of assessing simple trauma, acute stress disorder (ASD), complex trauma, and dissociation; and she discusses how to prepare for trauma work with clients. She also provides the resources---books, Web sites, and articles---from which to pursue further training in each protocol. A section on specific client populations---survivors of war, sexual assault, traumatic grief, and relational trauma---as well as a chapter on therapist self-care, explore important clinical issues that arise in this challenging therapy work. --
