Produktbeschreibung

Trauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents is a sourcebook of practical approaches to working with children and adolescents that synthesizes research from leading trauma specialists and translates it into easy-to-implement techniques. The approaches laid out address the sensory and somatic experiences of trauma within structured formats that meet the "best practices" criteria for trauma-informed care: safety, self-regulation, trauma integration, healthy relationships, and healthy environments. Each chapter contains short excerpts, case examples, and commentary relevant to the chapter topic from recognized leaders in the field of trauma intervention with children and adolescents. In addition to this, readers will find chapters filled with easily applied activities, methods, and approaches to assessment, self-regulation, trauma integration, and resilience-building. The book's structured yet comprehensive approach provides professionals with the resources they need to help trauma victims not just survive but thrive and move from victim thinking to survivor thinking using the current best practices in the field.

Rezensionen

"This book, a collection of writings by more than 20 professionals of different origin, introduces a particular and authentic therapeutic approach in dealing with traumatized children and adolescents. Breaking the mould and taking interdisciplinarity as a basis, the authors give a profound introduction into the ''holistic'' experience of trauma in young individuals. ...All in all, it took me a bit of time to work through this book, but now I confidently want to recommend its lecture. It may serve not only as a guideline for specialists, but also as a reference book for those who repeatedly come in contact with this complex theme of childhood trauma or alternatively intend to get more specialized in it."
