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.
