Reviews
Using Stories, Art, and Play in Trauma-Informed Treatment is the latest gem by Dr. Pernicano, reflecting her many years of expertise in trauma treatment across the lifespan. This unique volume utilizes the client's voice through metaphor, art, and play as reflected in a rich cornucopia of case studies. Clinicians can easily delve into evidence-informed trauma approaches that will enhance their treatment repertoire. Rich samples of child, teen, and adult client art, sandtray, and metaphor enliven powerful and moving case studies. This is an important volume for clinicians, regardless of level of training, to have in their professional library. Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, MA, MSEd, RPT-S, past president and founder emeritus, New York Association of Play Therapy, and director of clinical training and the APA-accredited doctoral internship, Astor Services for Children and Families, Rhinebeck, New York Dr. Pernicano has once again created a unique resource that all trauma-informed practitioners can immediately apply to their work with clients across the lifespan. Detailed case examples bring Pernicano's methods to life and illustrate just how meaningful stories and creative interventions can positively impact a wide range of challenges, including abuse, grief, addiction, and attachment problems. The framework and practical concepts presented in this user-friendly book will help both new and experienced therapists individualize treatment through the use of stories that not only engage clients but also effectively enhance their emotional reparation and recovery. Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT, executive director, Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute, Louisville, Kentucky A clearly written, comprehensive description of the role of metaphors and stories in the treatment of trauma across the ages. Highly recommended! Charles E. Schaefer, PhD, RPT-S, professor emeritus of psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, New Jersey, and cofounder and director, The Association for Play Therapy, Clovis, California Pat Pernicano is a clinician who speaks from the heart. She blends evidence, art, play, and stories to understand and communicate therapy's most important trauma-informed messages to the most important and often the most vulnerable: kids, teens, and adults suffering from trauma. Packed with case examples, playful interventions, pragmatic approaches, and illustrative art and metaphors, this book guides the reader through integrative approaches for maximizing effectiveness in therapy. Don't miss out on this treasure. George W. Burns, PhD, adjunct professor of psychology, Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia, and author of eight books, including 101 Stories for Enhancing Happiness and Well-Being What is unusual about this book is the juxtaposition of metaphor/storytelling and a wide range of trauma cases. It is also unique in presenting child, adolescent, and adult cases. This book describes a wealth of case material within clearly articulated case conceptualizations. In addition, there is sufficient detail of the techniques used-including pictures, metaphors, and stories-that the reader can easily apply the technique in their own practice. This book is a worthwhile read for beginning and seasoned therapists alike. Helen Benedict, PhD, RPT-S, professor of psychology and director of clinical training at Baylor University, Waco, Texas
