Trauma

Russell Carr, M.D.:
The second edition of Trauma is a must-have for mental health clinicians. The book provides expert descriptions of the leading forms of trauma therapy and how to apply them with diverse populations. I encourage any therapist who works with traumatized clients to study this amazing book.

Orit Badouk Epstein, editor of Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis:
Originating from the editors’ rich experience, this is a comprehensive book bringing a diversity of theories and tools centered on new developments in the conceptualization of attachment trauma and trauma-related interventions. This is a must-read, and its scope should prove pertinent to undergraduates and clinicians from all modalities of psychotherapy.

Eileen Dombo, Catholic University of America:
By exploring the theoretical underpinnings of the psychosocial impact of trauma, the authors provide the reader with clear mechanisms for understanding how trauma affects people. An excellent survey of the many facets of trauma and surely the best textbook for teaching.

Joan Berzoff, professor emerita, Smith College:
With the inclusion of excellent chapters on LGBTQ clients, clients who have been incarcerated, combat trauma, the effects of bullying, and cultural trauma, this second edition of Trauma becomes very relevant to vulnerable and at-risk populations. Social workers will appreciate the depth of multiple perspectives and the artful integration of clinical practice throughout. This is an important book for every social work student and practitioner.
