Opis

This book's intent is to increase our understanding of the field of trauma, shape practice with both traumatized and non-traumatized people, and increase our understanding of the impact of extreme stress and violence on the human psyche. A Practical Approach to Trauma: Empowering Interventions discusses a brief overview of the field of trauma that includes a history of the field, current theoretical perspectives and methods that provide a paradigm for stage appropriate, culture-based therapy which can be integrated into existing therapeutic orientations. The book's attention shifts to looking at the empowering approach and the importance of always maintaining an ecological and cultural perspective. Chapters on relating to individual approaches in trauma intervention by focusing on specific populations e.g. rape, domestic violence, child sexual abuse, group interventions, community approaches, traumatic stress debriefing, school counseling and secondary traumatization care for practitioners are included. No other book exists in the market that is as comprehensive regarding trauma intervention as this text.
