Synopsis

An essential reference and tool-kit for treating trauma survivors now updated and
even more comprehensive.
Trauma Practice, now in its 3rd edition, is back by popular demand! Filled with new
resources, this book based on the tri-phasic trauma treatment model is a guide for both
seasoned trauma therapists and newer mental health professionals seeking practical
approaches that work.
Clearly written and detailed, Trauma Practice provides the reader with an array of techniques,
protocols and interventions for effectively helping trauma survivors. Trauma
Practice will help you address the (cognitive, behavioral, body-oriented, and emotional/
relational) aftermath of trauma using impactful care approaches. In addition to presenting
the foundations of CBT trauma treatment, the authors also provide step-bystep
explanations of many popular and effective CBT techniques developed through
the lens of phased trauma therapy. Interventions include Trigger List Development, 3-6
Breath Training, Layering, Systematic Desensitization, Exposure Therapy, Story-Telling
Approaches, as well as new approaches inspired by recent research on neuroplasticity
such as Picture Positive, Corrective Messages from Old Storylines, and Thematic Map.
Completely new sections are devoted to forward-facing trauma therapy, and clinician
self-care. This is a manual that you will find useful everyday in your trauma practice.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

“This important book both addresses what we know today at a theoretical level and, equally importantly, explains clinical methods in the context of treatment. The authors offer a comprehensive guide for clinicians working with the traumatized. The guidance is detailed. This book presents clear instructions to traumatologists, even the most experienced [and] is also an excellent resource for trainers, teachers, and educators of trauma practitioners.” From the Foreword by Charles R. Figley, PhD, Florida State University Traumatology Institute, Tallahassee, FL “Still the best book on trauma therapy in print. It remains a reader friendly clinician’s guide to working with traumatic stress. The authors provide solid research along with practical interventions. This book is a must for your trauma bookshelf.” Dr. Michael Dubi, President of the International Association of Trauma Professionals “Required reading! In this third edition, Baranowsky and Gentry have once again given practitioners a toolbox full of useful clinical skills.” Robert T. Muller, PhD, Professor, York University, Toronto, ON, Canada; Author of Trauma and the Avoidant Client; Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation
