Review

"The book presents a solid theoretical foundation on which the authors have built a detailed plan of action to guide the therapist and, perhaps just as important, inform the client....The treatment sequence itself is brilliantly conceived."

"This is a wonderful book....Though trauma work is difficult, this book provides a coherent rationale and treatment program." (on the first edition), Doody's Electronic Review Published On: 2006-09-15
