Principles and Techniques of Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy
integrates cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic
methods of trauma treatment into a psychotherapeutic context.
Rather than presenting a unique form of intervention or technique,
the authors present methods that have been used successfully, some
of which are supported by evidence-based research and some by broad
clinical experience. This is not a general text, then, but one
focused on building competence and confidence in trauma-centered
interventions, providing methods that should be readily and widely
applicable to clinical practice. The authors recognize that asking
a client about the details of a traumatic event is an intimate act
that calls upon the therapist to be both compassionate and
dispassionate in the service of the client's well-being.
Accordingly, the book functions as a guide, instructing and
supporting the clinician through this demanding and necessary work.
The book has many useful features: * The book stresses technique,
not theory, and is appropriate for clinicians of any theoretical
orientation, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic,
humanistic, and sociocultural. Similarly, the book will be useful
to a range of clinicians, from psychiatrists and psychologists to
social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional
counselors.* Dozens of detailed clinical case examples are included
that illustrate what to say and what not to say in the wide variety
of situations that clinicians are likely to encounter. *
Down-to-earth strategies are included for setting up the proper
trauma-centered frame for the therapeutic work, conducting a
detailed trauma history, exploring the effects of the trauma on
present-day behavior, and handling the inevitable disruptions in
the therapeutic relationship.* Valuable features include study
questions, which conclude each chapter, and appendices, which
provide a template for a consent-to-treatment form, a traumatic
life events questionnaire, and a clinical assessment interview. In
many long-term therapies, regardless of therapeutic orientation, a
moment comes when the clinician or client realizes it is time to
engage in a detailed exploration of traumatic events. Principles
and Techniques of Trauma-Centered Psychotherapy is for that moment,
and its rich clinical transcripts and vast detailed techniques will
equip the therapist to embark on that process confidently,
humanely, and effectively.
