Overview

Significantly revised and restructured to reflect major developments in the field, the expanded second edition of this important work is essentially a new book. The volume presents cutting-edge cognitive and behavioral applications for treating a variety of trauma-related symptoms, disorders, and special populations. Leading scientist-practitioners summarize the available treatment data and succinctly review the ""whys,"" ""whats,"" and ""hows"" of their respective approaches. Nearly all extant chapters have been completely rewritten, many with new authors, and new chapters have been added on advances in assessment, acute stress disorder, complicated grief, cognitive processing therapy, working with groups, and early intervention.

Reviews

'This volume performs an enormous service... It is comprehensive, exhaustively researched, and carefully edited....[It] is grounded in theory and outcome research and also immediately translatable into clinical practice. The detail in which protocols and interventions are described adds significantly to its worth. Clinicians and academicians whose work involves community mental health, forensics, or disempowered populations of any kind will find it invaluable.' - The Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research; 'This is a book by and for clinicians and scholars. Each therapeutic problem is elegantly reconceptualized as a cognitive and/or behavioral challenge which is then translated into a practical treatment strategy. Thoughtful transcripts of actual therapy sessions attest to the feasibility, accessibility, and effectiveness of such a conceptually driven treatment approach.' - Mathew J. Friedman, MD, PhD; 'Representing the scientist practitioner approach at its best, this book provides a sweeping, detailed, and complex view of trauma... Chapters expertly balance empirical evidence with a sensitive understanding of the human, emotional experience of trauma survivors.' - Antonette M. Zeiss, PhD; 'This state-of-the-science book provides a practical guide to empirically supported interventions. Impressive in scope and scholarship, it highlights the emerging standard of care across the diverse forms of trauma.' - Kenneth S. Pope, PhD, ABPP

'This book provides a wealth of stimulating and up-to-date ideas for treating trauma and associated conditions, such as emotional dysregulation, guilt, shame, substance abuse, and revictimization. Readers can compare the formulations of leading experts in different forms of trauma therapy, and cannot fail to learn valuable techniques for working with adults, children, couples, and groups. Particularly welcome is the practical focus on managing the more complex problems of clients who have been multiply traumatized, often in childhood.' - Chris R. Brewin, PhD, Subdepartment of Clinical Health Psychology, University College London, UK 'This is the ultimate resource on treating trauma survivors using CBT. It is the most comprehensive review currently available, covering every indicated cognitive-behavioral intervention and each survivor population, and written by the leaders in the field. I challenge anyone interested in this field to look at the contents - you won't be able to resist buying the book. Updated and reorganized, the second edition offers something for everyone. Clinicians will appreciate the detailed assessment and case formulation guidelines and the well-illustrated clinical techniques. Researchers will find an up-to-date, inclusive review of the literature, and students and teachers will benefit from the breadth and depth of the coverage and the combined wisdom of the experienced authors. Superb!' - Barbara O. Rothbaum, PhD, Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine; President (2004-2005), International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies
