I recommend this scholarly and readable book to all concerned with
the field of stress and trauma. Students and clinicians will find
it equally beneficial.Mardi J. Horowitz, M.D. Professor of
Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco and author of
Stress Response Syndromes and Treatment of Stress Response
SyndromesThis is a remarkably good book. One seldom sees such
exquisite balance of scholarship, practical relevance and
compassion for both client and counsellor. I recommend it most
highly.Michael J. Mahoney, author of Constructive Psychotherapy and
Human Change ProcessesUnderstanding Trauma and Emotion is an
essential reference for all clinicians working in the area of
trauma ...and provides a comprehensive and very accessible account
of the emotion-focused model of psychological trauma.Michelle A.
Webster, PhD, Institute for Emotionally Focused Therapy, SydneyHow
do we help the traumatised?How can we better understand someone who
has faced death, violence or imprisonment?Traumatic experiences can
leave an indelible impression on those involved, one which the
person may suppress or re-live with destructive and troubling
consequences. For many traumatised individuals the essence of their
trauma is deeply emotional: terror, anger, anxiety.Colin Wastell
interprets the modern understanding of the traumatic process and
presents his own model based on extensive research. He examines the
role of emotion in human function and in particular its role in the
experience of trauma and effective trauma treatment.Wastell's
approach is grounded in practical treatment and the way
emotion-focused therapy can be used to benefit the therapist and
client. Using extensive case studies and making clear links between
theory and practice, Wastell presents an innovative practice manual
for the counsellor and psychologist interested both in trauma
treatment and human emotion. These principles for understanding
trauma will also assist health professionals, including nurses,
doctors, ambulance officers, social workers, religious leaders,
emergency services workers and police officers, to help their
clients.This book is also supported by a website, containing a full
