Using Trauma-Focused Therapy Stories is a groundbreaking treatment
resource for trauma-informed therapists who work with abused and
neglected children ages nine years and older as well as their
caregivers. The classic edition includes a new preface from the
author reflecting on changes in the field since the book's initial
publication. The therapy stories are perfect accompaniments to
evidence-based treatment approaches and provide the foundation for
psychoeducation and intervention with the older elementary-aged
child or early pre-teen. Therapists will also benefit from the
inclusion of thorough guides for children and caregivers, which
illustrate trauma and developmental concepts in easy-to-understand
terms. The psychoeducational material in the guides, written at a
third- to fourth-grade reading level, may be used within any
trauma-informed therapy model in the therapy office or sent-home
for follow-up. Each therapy story illustrates trauma concepts,
guides trauma narrative and cognitive restructuring work, and
illuminates caregiver blind spots; the caregiver stories target
issues that often become barriers to family trauma recovery. No
therapist who works with young trauma survivors will want to be
without this book, and school-based professionals, social workers,
psychologists and others committed to working with traumatized
children will find the book chock-full of game-changing ideas for
their practice.

In Outsmarting the Riptide of Domestic Violence: Metaphor and
Mindfulness for Change, Pat Pernicano translates issues central to
domestic violence recovery into metaphorical stories and
mindfulness narratives that will facilitate the change process. The
stories are intended to be used in conjunction with trauma-focused
interventions in order to reduce troubling symptoms, address risk
and relapse-potential, change relational patterns, and remediate
attachment deficits. Pernicano provides practitioners with a needed
bridge between theory and practice, a one-of-a-kind resource for
therapists, counselors, and social workers who aid victims of
domestic violence. Pernicano's book is organized according to the
Transtheoretical Stages of Change Model and includes stories within
each section to facilitate the change process in the individual
while using TF-CBT PRACTICE elements: Psycho-education about
domestic violence and trauma, Relaxation (and stress reduction),
Affective expression and regulation, Cognitive restructuring,
Trauma narrative development and processing, In vivo exposure to
avoided situations, Conjoint sessions with children, and Enhancing
future safety and healthy relationship development.
Therapeutic metaphor and stories have long been used within
modalities such as hypnotherapy, play therapy, narrative therapies,
and expressive therapies. Metaphorical interventions reduce client
defensiveness. They provide an "aha" that leads to insight and
change, as the client's identification with one or more characters
in the stories springboards him or her into treatment activity.
Metaphorical Stories for Child Therapy: Of Magic and Miracles is a
book for practitioners, including psychologists, social workers,
special education or school therapists, counselors, and expressive
therapists. The book uses metaphorical stories and interventions to
address issues central to child and adolescent treatment. Each
story addresses a particular issue or theme, gives examples of how
the story may be used, and includes a set of "take-it-home"
questions that may be assigned between sessions. These stories
become core metaphors to be referred to throughout treatment, and
children find them enjoyable and memorable. There have been a
number of books published in recent years on metaphor and
therapeutic stories. This volume sets itself apart, in that the
stories are richer character-wise and many are more universal in
their themes. The book is divided into two sections: Part I focuses
on general treatment themes, such as self-esteem,
affect-regulation, lowering defenses, and so on. Part II addresses
specific DSM-IV diagnoses such as panic disorder, ADHD, OCD,
divorce adjustment, fear of the dark, and eating disorders. The
depth and versatility of the stories ensure that the practitioner
will find him or herself using them over and over again.
Treatment of abuse and neglect needs to be family-focused in order
to reduce troubling symptoms, address family risk and relapse
potential, treat cross-generational patterns, and remediate
attachment deficits. Evidence-based practices are available for
child and family abuse treatment, including Trauma Focused CBT, but
new intervention strategies are needed that reduce family and
client denial, lower defensiveness, and prevent re-traumatization
during the treatment process. Family-Focused Trauma Intervention:
Using Metaphor and Play with Victims of Abuse and Neglect
translates issues central to abuse and neglect recovery into
metaphorical stories and family-based interventions. Each chapter
provides a summary of an issue or theme, one or more pertinent
stories, and parallel family, group, and individual interventions.
These stories and family-focused interventions help clients
regulate affect in order to reduce frequency and intensity of
troubling symptoms. This volume is the "missing link" in the
current literature on therapy and metaphor, as it focuses
specifically on parent-child interaction and trauma. The content of
this book, which may be used within any theoretical framework,
provides a wide variety of practitioners with a needed bridge
between theory and practice.
