Treating Complex Trauma Combined Theories and Methods 1st Edition by Tamara McClintock Greenberg

This forward-thinking volume outlines several approaches to therapeutic treatment for individuals who have experienced complex childhood and adult trauma, providing a novel framework for helping patients with a number of challenging symptoms, with clinical hypothesis testing and solid therapeutic relationships as a vital foundation. Responding to the intense disagreement and competition among clinicians championing their own approaches, the book identifies the strengths and limitations of multiple therapeutic approaches, addressing the need for qualified clinicians to be versed in multiple theories and techniques in order to alleviate suffering in their clients.
Among the topics discussed:

    How to choose specific therapeutic methods and when to shift techniques
    The neurobiology of trauma and management of fear
    Cultural and ethnic considerations in trauma treatment
    Addressing avoidance and creating a safe therapeutic environment
    Management of dissociation, substance abuse, and anger
