South Africa has one of the highest rates of extreme violence cases
in the world, which has created a critical need for counsellors to
be trained specifically in this area. In Trauma counselling:
Principles and practice in South Africa today, a team of academics
and practitioners have compiled a hands-on, yet theoretically
grounded and evidence-based South African textbook on counselling
victims of trauma.
The first part of this publication focuses on
the range of potentially traumatic events that commonly occur in
South Africa. It clearly describes themes related to traumatic
events and traumatic stress and introduces the basic principles of
trauma counselling. This section also focuses on how traumatic
stress may manifest in different client groups. The second part
aims to familiarise students with a range of strategies suitable
for trauma counselling, such as brief interventions, cognitive
behaviour therapy, the narrative approach, strength-based
interventions and integrated or alternative approaches.
The final
chapter is a personal one, in which the authors reflect on the
lessons they have learnt from their own practice and the techniques
they have developed to protect themselves from vicarious trauma.
