Overview

Integrated Care for the Traumatized puts forth a model for the future of behavioral health focused on health care integration and the importance of the Whole Person Approach (WPA) in guiding the integration. This book fills a void applying the WPA integration to the traumatized that enables the reader to learn from experienced trauma practitioners on how to assess and treat trauma as humanely and compassionately as possible. This approach of expanding the possibilities of behavioral health by centering upon the whole person is an old idea that is emerging as a modern solution to over specialized practices. Among other things this WPA approach, completed with spirituality, psychology, medicine, social work, and psychiatry, helps traumatized and their families function in the social environment. The book has four sections: Foundations, Interventions for Individuals, Interventions for Communities, and Future of Integrative Care for the Traumatized. Each chapter discusses the importance of working within an integrative and WP approach, with descriptions of integrative models, research evidence and applications that are already working. These chapters can help students, families, and seasoned professionals to improve upon and expand their practice with the traumatized in both the individual and community contexts.

Reviews

Trauma is both universal and deeply personal. Traumatic experiences shatter safety and threaten the body, the mind, and the soul. The outward signs may be similar, but each person and each community responds in profoundly particular ways. This invaluable book transcends conventional thinking and engages traumatized individuals and communities in the creation of sustaining new meanings that help them heal and grow. It is an essential resource. -- Alicia Lieberman, professor, University of California San Francisco Integrated Care for the Traumatized addresses important current issues related to trauma in various populations, including the impact of war on refugees, soldiers, and children. This book is a significant contribution to the field of trauma and healing, and is important to our understanding of how populations are impacted by trauma and which modalities are most effective for treatment. A very moving and meaningful work. -- Carolyn Shoshana, Sonoma State University Integrated Care for the Traumatized: A Whole Person Approach is an innovative text that covers a range of individual and communal interventions using a variety of modalities.

Courtois, retired licensed psychologist, independent pratice, Washington, D.C.
