The Trauma Treatment Handbook: Protocols Across the Spectrum

Description

Trauma is a hot topic in psychotherapy these days, and competing treatments and approaches abound - including AEDP, EMDR, somatic therapies, hypnosis, thought-field therapy, and psychopharmacology, to name but a few. While there are books on the market that focus on these individually, none comprise all of them in a single, accessible volume. Because traumatic symptoms and levels of severity vary widely, therapists need a guide such as this to address them all together. This volume provides clinicians with a single source to refer to determine the best course of treatment for clients, while laying out all the major available treatments, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to determine which treatments are best suited to which type of client.
