Useful Reference For Different Treatment Methods,
By MAH (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD (Norton Professional Books) (Paperback)
This work complements Rothschild's introductory book The Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment (Norton Professional Books). In this casebook she gives a comprehensive description of different techniques for treating trauma from a range of psychotherapeutic traditions. It's a good record if you want to review the various approaches that may be useful for sufferers. It is written in the form of case studies and dialogues between therapist and client, which makes it instructional and illustrative. The techniques shown have currency. For example, the visualisation exercises that a client can be taught are used by many different therapists, from those who use NLP or hypnosis, those with a solution focused approach (Beating Combat Stress: 101 Techniques for Recovery) all the way to those who use CBT type techniques as found in books such as Oxford Guide to Imagery in Cognitive Therapy (Oxford Guides to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). At least one trauma treatment charity (PTSD Resolution) has also publicly stated its use of the latter. This book is a useful guide for anyone who needs to understand the different ways in which people can learn to deal with their trauma, so that the treatment can be tailored to what the person needs.

excellent and useful,

This review is from: The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD (Norton Professional Books) (Paperback)
Even without having "The Body Remembers", I found this casebook eminently practical and explanatory. I was able to use it very usefully in training counsellors working with trauma issues.
Author's experience and compassion come through vividly.

"Putting on the brakes"- making trauma therapy safer,
By jf dynamicstillness - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD (Norton Professional Books) (Paperback)
This book is refreshing, well written and easy to read - it is full of sound common sense (something often lacking these days!) It stands on its own or can be read as a useful adjunct to Babette's earlier excellent book on the psychophysiology of trauma. Babette's wisdom, style and honesty around the many different approaches and tools for working with trauma are covered extensively and most usefully as fascinating case studies. I especially appreciated the chapter on learning from our mistakes and failures and the surprising fact that clients respect honest ignorance and they often don't get enough of it in the therapeutic encounter. Adaptability is the key word here..that is adapting to the unique needs of each client.Babette's view and one which I wholeheartedly share is that there is nothing we can categorically say works for sure in treating trauma and certainly no one treatment method that works for everybody. The main emphasis is on the necessity to create safety both inside and outside the treatment room. This opens up the field for lots of further debate. Fantastic stuff. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful:

If It's Not Working,
By Catherine M. Mendoza - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD (Norton Professional Books) (Paperback)
Babette Rothschild presents a refreshingly common-sensical concept- that you should not be wedded to any one theory of how to treat PTSD. She has developed many somatic-based techniques, but she also demonstrates effective use of Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, Peter Levine's use of felt-sense and many others. She shares partial transcripts of sessions. Rothschild suggests that you hypothesize what will be most healing to a patient and, if that does not work, try something else. I like her idea of transparency, to tell the patient that together you will keep working until you find the key approach to unlocking his frozen energy. Catherine Mendoza LPC

An important piece of the continuum of learning to work with trauma,
By Ian Bruce - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD (Norton Professional Books) (Paperback)
In this text, Rothschild offers a beautiful piece of writing that nicely complements her earlier work, "The Body Remembers." I have found in my journey of learning to understand and work with trauma that I have had a lot of exposure to articles and textbooks, and complementary direct experience with clients to learn from. The Casebook occupies a liminal-like space in between the learning experience of a session and a textbook.
"The Body Remembers Casebook" to my mind hits a home a run for delivering a powerful yet simple presentation of various ways to work with individuals with trauma. As a novice clinician, I found the material refreshingly accessible--clear, straightforward, and communicates the core concepts of trauma work. The first three chapters lays out a framework for understanding trauma, outlining principles for working with trauma, and describes the various modalities referred to later in the text. The rest of the book is a series of partial session transcript based chapters with author commentary. Each chapter has a theme that the session emphasizes and lists which modalities are drawn from by the therapist/author. Enjoy...and onward we go! |
