Product Description
Review
This book provides an integrative theoretical model of abuse by drawing on cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and attachment theories. The clarity of the presentation, the detailed and concise treatment manual approach, and the hands-on case studies will give the reader powerful tools for modifying the effects of early abuse. -- Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D. The authors provide an innovative, compassionate, imagery-based treatment approach for victims of child sexual abuse. They offer detailed treatment guidelines, informative transcripts, and sensitive case reports to illustrate how to empower patients and how to help them find meaning. Highly recommended! -- Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D. This is the most comprehensive volume to date on the impact of childhood abuse on adult survivors. In addition to a very careful delineation of the meaning of the sexual and physical abuse, the authors provide a stunning description of the treatment through imagery. This book is a must for any mental health worker whose patients have had childhood trauma. -- Aaron T. Beck, M.D.
Product Description
The increasing frequency with which issues of childhood sexual abuse come up in therapy highlights the need for an effective short-term treatment for these patients. Imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy, the treatment program described in this book, is an information-processing, schema-focused model in which the recurring traumatic abuse memories are treated with a combination of prolonged imaginal exposure and imaginal rescripting. With the use of both imagery and verbal interventions to activate the entire fear memory and to identify, challenge, modify, and reprocess the recurring traumatic imagery and abuse-related beliefs, a more adaptive schema is created. The authors compre-hensively describe this treatment program, offering step-by-step procedures for each session. Models of all verbal instructions and written materials given to the patient are included for easy use or adaptation. Three treatment formats are demonstrated with detailed extended excerpts from actual sessions. This readable and informative book is a significant advance in the treatment of post-traumatic stress syndrome resulting from early childhood abuse.

Respectful therapy
21 Oct 2007
Format:Hardcover
This treatment method provides a respectful way to help clients deal with painful traumatic experiences. Soundly grounded in cognitive therapy, the process employs elements of hypnotherapy in that it moves people out of a purely cerebal, cognitive, logical mode into a more right brain, image laden, metaphorical process which facilitates deep healing. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Hypnotherapist, I appreciate the gentle, non-directive, client centered approach offered by this process. This book clearly explains the process in easily understandable, immediately applicable ways. Once a therapeutic relationship creates a safe environment, the client narrates a particularly vivid memory in the present tense. Then, in a second narration, the client finds ways to empower and 'rescript' the event. Finally, through the reprocessing portion, a client achieves a deep inner healing through examining and disputing the cognitive beliefs embedded by the traumatic experience. Often, dealing with one or two vivid events will provide a 'generalizing' effect that processes and heals other dimensions / experiences of trauma.

Well-written book for imagery rescripting
24 Nov 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book is well-written to illustrate the cognitive skills in handling abusive experience, particularly the use of imagery rescripting. Once as a participant for Dr. Smucker's workshop, I personally felt convicted of his good experience in treating abusive problems. Thus, don't miss this book.
