Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Alexander, a trauma consultant who's the director of the Center for Community Counseling in Eugene, OR, offers a practical guide for interacting with children who have been traumatized by witnessing everything from burglary to homicide, suicide, and accidental deaths. Speaking primarily to parents and caregivers, she presents both case examples of children she has counseled and personal trauma experiences to display the potential range of emotional and psychological responses. Then she offers a useful range of interpretations of coping mechanisms, suggestions for what to do and say, bulleted lists, transcripts of actual dialogs between children and parents, and a list of resources--helplines, organizations, and books for professionals and children. Recommended for public and school libraries and academic libraries that have clinical or educational concentrations.

Excellent resource!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children Changed by Trauma: A Healing Guide (Paperback)
Finally, a readable resource for parents and care givers of children who have been impacted by the "culture of trauma" in this country. This book is an excellent resource for parents in view of the many instances of school violence we have experienced in the last few years. I was so happy to find real guidelines and specific examples of what to say and do in the face of the constant bombardment of violence on television, in movies, as well as in real life. Concrete, straightforward, but always readable. I heartily recommend it to other parents, teachers and counselors.

By Larisa (Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children Changed by Trauma: A Healing Guide (Paperback)
I was impressed with reading this book. I am psychosocial therapist and this reading gave me a lot of useful information I could use working with the children who are going through a hard time in the family home and school setting. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand children or your child more as well as yourself.
