Reclaim your life from C-PTSD with this powerful and compassionate
workbook. If you've experienced long-term or repeated trauma--such
as childhood abuse or neglect, domestic violence, betrayal, or
prolonged emotional abuse--you may struggle with intense feelings
of sadness, anger, anxiety, shame, and distrust toward others. You
should know that you aren't alone, your pain is real, and there are
ways to improve your mental health and begin to heal. This
compassionate and evidence-based workbook can help you get started.
This workbook offers an integrative approach for coping with
complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) using cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),
dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, mentalization, and
relational therapy. You'll learn the most effective strategies to
manage symptoms, overcome painful memories, and build
self-confidence. Most importantly, you'll find validation that your
feelings aren't "crazy" or "outsized," and discover the skills
needed to help you reclaim your life. This empowering workbook will
help you: Identify and understand the root cause of your C-PTSD
Overcome fear, hypervigilance, and avoidance Balance emotions
before they interfere with daily life Seek out and maintain
relationships based in equality and respect
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,

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

More than ever, the aging process is recognized as carrying a
special set of emotional challenges-especially when acute or
chronic medical conditions are involved. In this light,
Psychodynamic Perspectives on Aging and Illness presents a fresh,
contemporary application of psychodynamic theory, addressing the
complex issues surrounding declining health. Informed by the
spectrum of psychodynamic thought from self, relational, and
classical theories, this forward looking volume offers more modern
interpretations of theory, and techniques for working with a
growing, complicated, but surprisingly resilient population. It
illuminates how to enhance the therapeutic relationship in key
areas such as addressing body- and self-image issues, approach
sensitive topics, and understand the disconnect that can occur
between medical patients and the often impersonal,
technology-driven health care system. At the same time, the author
cogently argues for pluralism in a therapeutic approach that is
frequently threatened by forces both within and outside the field.
Among the topics covered: Medical illness as trauma. Idealization
and the culture of medicine. Normative and pathological narcissism
in the ill and/or aging patient. Noncompliant and self-destructive
behaviors. Transference and countertransference issues.
Psychotherapy with cognitively impaired adults. Grief, loss, and
hope. Expanding on what we know and candid about what we don't,
Psychodynamic Perspectives on Aging and Illness offers mental
health researchers and practitioners an insightful framework for
improving the lives of older patients.
