Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the book that clinicians and educators concerned with child traumatic stress have been waiting for! Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is the clear 'best-practice' treatment for traumatized children and their families. This book describes this evidence-based treatment approach in a pragmatic manner that every clinician will appreciate. I found the extensive use of case examples and the answers to common clinical questions to be particularly valuable. This book should be read by every therapist and every student working with traumatized children and their families."--Benjamin E. Saunders, PhD, National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, Medical University of South Carolina

"For therapists treating children affected by trauma, this is a 'must-have' book. It is truly a clinician’s guide, describing specific treatment strategies to accomplish the proven ingredients of trauma-focused therapy. It illustrates how theory-driven, research-supported interventions can be translated into real-life, complex case situations."--Lucy Berliner, MSW, Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington

"This state-of-the-art treatment manual orients both the novice and seasoned clinician to critical core components for treating children who suffer from trauma and loss. Eminent clinician-scholars in the trauma field have provided a highly effective, evidence-based package, honed by feedback from community-based practitioners. This is a 'must-have' tool for every clinician’s toolkit!"--Lisa Amaya-Jackson, MD, MPH, UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress


"Even more informative and readable than I had expected....This practical book outlines the therapy in a way that makes it come alive....Many good practical examples, as well as a trouble-shooting section, complete each chapter. Handouts for patients and an excellent reference section complete the book. The authors'' impressive breadth of knowledge and experience makes this book valuable for any professional who might find families with traumatic experiences in their practice. I strongly recommend it to my colleagues."--Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

(Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry )

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, concise, and thorough, April 14, 2008
By NIBsmf "NIBsmf" (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treating Trauma and Traumatic Grief in Children and Adolescents (Hardcover)
I have to agree with the other reviews that describe this book as thorough and well-written. The authors use language that is psychology-based but also accessible to non-psychology oriented readers. It is written in a logical order and covers all the bases of trauma-based therapy work.

One thing that I especially appreciate about this book is that it discusses the various domains of one's life that trauma affects: emotions, thoughts, behaviors, biological/physical factors, etc. I also love how easily it lays out the steps that are taken to help a traumatized child/teen. The "PRACTICE" approach that the authors introduce is easy to follow and to put into action, for the most part. Even for therapists who are not using the CBT model of psychology (which is me), this book gives plenty of good ideas and tips for how to best treat those affected by trauma.

The appendices are also quite helpful in guiding readers to related works and in providing concrete examples of activities suggested by the authors.

Overall, this is a very worthy read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Framework for Counseling, July 7, 2007
By Javanne (Maple Valley, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treating Trauma and Traumatic Grief in Children and Adolescents (Hardcover)
This book was required reading for a postgraduate course for professionals in treating trauma. Excellent resource for the professional counselor - may even be applied to young adults, adults with delayed emotional developmental issues, or developmentally disabled adults. Highly recommended graduated-exposure and appropriate titration to the processing of trauma experiences using an evidence-based practice.

By J. Theisen (Bloomington, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Treating Trauma and Traumatic Grief in Children and Adolescents (Hardcover)
I have been a therapist for over 10 years and I use most of the strategies that the book reviewed. As with most therapies I have missed some of the details. The book does a good job of giving concrete examples and allowing for some individualization for clients' needs. Not as rigid as my typical perception of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have been a play therapist for year and with kids who my time is limited or who are ready for more structured therapy I think this method will work well. I have seen some good results from the trauma narrative that has really helped clients get to the next level of healing. This book is also a pretty quick read only being about 200 pages of content and the rest is useful worksheets. I did it in conjunction with the online training at [..]
