This forward-thinking volume outlines several approaches to
therapeutic treatment for individuals who have experienced complex
childhood and adult trauma, providing a novel framework for helping
patients with a number of challenging symptoms, with clinical
hypothesis testing and solid therapeutic relationships as a vital
foundation. Responding to the intense disagreement and competition
among clinicians championing their own approaches, the book
identifies the strengths and limitations of multiple therapeutic
approaches, addressing the need for qualified clinicians to be
versed in multiple theories and techniques in order to alleviate
suffering in their clients. Among the topics discussed: How to
choose specific therapeutic methods and when to shift techniques
The neurobiology of trauma and management of fear Cultural and
ethnic considerations in trauma treatment Addressing avoidance and
creating a safe therapeutic environment Management of dissociation,
substance abuse, and anger Treating Complex Trauma: Combined
Theories and Methods serves as a practical guide for clinicians
looking to expand their knowledge of approaches for treating
complex trauma. It aims to provide clinicians with options for
different therapeutic methods, along with the necessary context for
them to select the most effective approach in their treatments.
"For the first time in the professional literature we are finally
afforded a clear, cogent, and detailed explication of complex
trauma and the multifaceted parameters of treatment. Dr. Tamara
McClintock Greenberg provides perspicacious insight and clinical
wisdom only a seasoned career therapist can yield. Offering
sophisticated and nuanced distinctions between complex trauma and
PTSD, she shows how treatment is necessarily contextual and
tailored to the unique clinical and personality dynamics of the
sufferer that is thoroughly client specific within the therapeutic
dyad. She dispenses with simplistic and supercilious attitudes that
embarrassingly boast a uniform or manualized treatment to trauma,
instead carefully taking into consideration polysymptomatic,
neurobiological, and socialcultural differences that inform the
interpersonal, emotional, and safety milieu from the beginning of
treatment to stabilization, the working-through process, and then
onto successful recovery. This is a must-read book for those in
training and senior clinicians alike." --Jon Mills, PsyD, PhD,
ABPP, Faculty, Postgraduate Programs in Psychoanalysis &
Psychotherapy, Adelphi University, NY; author of Treating
Attachment Pathology "Dr. Greenberg has written an invaluable book
on treating complex trauma. She delves into multiple approaches,
assessing what techniques the client can tolerate at a given
therapeutic stage. She covers how to maintain consistency and
connection through a flexible approach and avoid pitfalls. This is
a must read for clinicians wishing to treat clients with complex
PTSD." --Louann Brizendine, MD, Clinical Professor UCSF; author of
