Description
This volume presents cutting-edge cognitive and behavioral applications for understanding and treating trauma-related problems in virtually any clinical setting. Leading scientist-practitioners succinctly review the “whys,” “whats,” and “hows” of their respective approaches. Encompassing individual, group, couple, and parent-child treatments, the volume goes beyond the traditionally identified diagnosis of PTSD to include strategies for addressing comorbid substance abuse, traumatic revictimization, complicated grief, acute stress disorder, and more. It also offers crucial guidance on assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning.
very comprehensive..
This was required reading for me I love the subject matter and content but it is not an easy read the way it is written makes it hard to get through.
I’ve had to read many textbooks in my life, and this CBT Trauma book is one of the good ones. The book is easy to read and follow. The chapters are broken up into different aspects of trauma therapy from a CBT perspective, as well as specific CBT treatments for trauma survivors.
I want to absorb and memorize every word from this book — just as his past book was beyond awesome, this one is even more practical, useful, and addresses the real issues that I constantly face as a Deaf therapist working with Deaf/HOH clients.
If you work in a mental health service for pre-verbally deaf adults, this book is a gem (as long as you can deal with the looooong title). In particular, Neil Glickman captures the complex needs of less able deaf service-users, conveying this in accessible language. The book is clearly based on extensive clinical practice. Unusually, it includes enough detail to be of practical help to professional therapists who are familiar with CBT and DBT approaches. The accompanying CD includes many pictorial images that can be readily adapted to make resources. As someone who was new to working with deaf service users two years ago, this is still the book I take off the shelf regularly.
