Rezensionen

"The authors have done a great deed to human service professionals by pulling together what we know so far about responding to traumatic events and presenting it in a clear, practical, and coherent format. This should be a basic text for undergraduate and graduate students as well as practitioners already out in the field." --Sandra L. Bloom, MD, Associate Professor, Health Management and Policy, School of Public Health, Drexel University

"A detailed overview and comprehensive description of the principles of trauma-informed care. The theoretical framework, clinical suggestions, and concrete advice are spot-on, revealing the authors' clinical acumen and their understanding of the underlying scientific literature. I strongly recommend this book to health and mental health providers." -John Briere, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Southern California; Director, USC Adolescent Trauma Training Center, National Child Traumatic Stress Network
