The past decade has seen more and more clinicians involved in the
assessment and treatment of abused and traumatized children. They
have contributed to an impressively large body of literature on the
impact of abuse and trauma at all ages, the focus of which has been
the short and long-term sequelae apparent in the child's behavior,
emotional experience, and social interaction. But there have been
few efforts to investigate the ways in which abuse and trauma
damage the intrapsychic systems and structures that often guide,
direct, and inform the child's manifest adjustment and functioning.
The need to redress the balance was the major impetus for this
book.
Rich with expert, practical guidance for therapists, this book presents a time-limited group treatment approach for survivors of interpersonal trauma. The Trauma Recovery Group is a Stage 2 approach within Judith Herman's influential stage model of treatment. It is designed for clients who have achieved basic safety and stability in present-day life and who are ready to work on processing and integrating traumatic memories. Vivid case examples and transcripts illustrate the process of screening, selecting, and orienting group members and helping them craft and work toward individualized goals, while optimizing the healing power of group interactions. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes reproducible handouts, worksheets, and flyers. See also Group Trauma Treatment in Early Recovery, by Judith Lewis Herman and Diya Kallivayalil, which presents a Stage 1 approach that focuses on establishing safety, stability, and self-care.
Current research and clinical observations suggest pronounced
gender-based differences in the ways people respond to traumatic
events. Most notably, women evidence twice the rate of PTSD as men
following traumatic exposure. This important volume brings together
leading clinical scientists to analyze the current state of
knowledge on gender and PTSD. Cogent findings are presented on
gender-based differences and influences in such areas as trauma
exposure, risk factors, cognitive and physiological processes,
comorbidity, and treatment response. Going beyond simply cataloging
gender-related data, the book explores how the research can guide
us in developing more effective clinical services for both women
and men. Incorporating cognitive, biological, physiological, and
sociocultural perspectives, this is an essential sourcebook and
text.

Neurobiological foundations of mindfulness-oriented work are examined. Treatment applications are illustrated for specific trauma populations, such as clients with chronic pain, military veterans, and children and adolescents.
