Product Description

Review

'This marvelous book comprehensively summarizes the effects of childhood trauma on cognitive, interpersonal, and self-regulatory functions, and presents a lucid, phase-oriented approach to the treatment of the hundreds of thousands of adults who suffer from the long-term effects of early developmental trauma. Filled with handouts and practical, step-by-step information, this book will serve as an invaluable guide to help clinicians organize and implement outstanding evidence-based treatment for this population.' - Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, Division of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine

'This book presents an innovative treatment for adult survivors that is based on the available science about traumatic abuse and its aftermath. The authors' model is a hybrid of available effective treatments, organized in a progressive and hierarchical fashion. It dramatically shortens treatment time and thus has high value for clinician and patient alike. The treatment manual is concrete, yet attuned to the special needs and issues of survivors, and treatment goals can be quantified to test for effectiveness. A major contribution to the treatment literature.' - Christine A. Courtois, PhD, private practice, Washington, DC, USA

'Trauma clinicians have long awaited Cloitre and colleagues' treatment manual for child abuse survivors. The wait was well worth it: the authors offer a highly detailed, step-by-step, incisive approach to the treatment of trauma symptoms, affect regulation problems, and altered schemata. By attending to emotional regulation issues and the need for titrated exposure, and highlighting the importance of the therapeutic alliance, this book provides the missing link in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of complex, abuse-related trauma. I highly recommend this book!' - John Briere, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Psychological Trauma Program, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, USA

Product Description

Meeting a key need, this book presents a modular adult psychotherapy approach grounded in extensive clinical experience and research. Provided is a flexible, empirically supported framework for helping clients manage symptoms related to past physical or sexual abuse; build emotion regulation and interpersonal skills; and process traumatic memories and their associated feelings of fear, shame, and loss. Session-by-session guidelines include many suggestions for tailoring interventions to each person's needs in the context of a safe, supportive therapeutic environment. Designed in a large, easy-to-use format, the book includes over a dozen reproducible handouts, worksheets, and other tools for clinicians and clients.

Very Useful 4 Sep 2011
By RSwan
Format:Paperback
This book is a highly valuable resource for working with clients who have experienced trauma in their past and also for pulling out relevant parts for clients who are experiencing difficulties with emotion regulation. The handouts are very easy to understand, validating, and the accompanying exercises are useful and well-received.

Using It Already 27 Aug 2010
By AmazonAddict - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a therapy grad student, I purchased this book because it was on the recommended list for a class I am taking on Adult Trauma Interventions. Even though the class has not yet begun, I have started Phase I from Treating Survivors of Childhood Abuse with two new complex trauma clients I'm seeing. Already I am seeing the benefits. The text is well-written, easy to understand, and comes with handouts for clients at the end of the chapters. I would recommend this book to anyone working in the counseling field.

This book has a great deal of insight into the difficulties that abuse survivors experience. I have not found any other book to be as informative about this issue.
