About this title

Synopsis

Colin A. Ross, M.D. and Naomi Halpern C.Q.S.W. have developed a new treatment manual for treating Trauma, Dissociation and Complex Comorbidity. The manual builds on a previous book, The Trauma Model by expanding on the ideas and providing concrete, practical skills on the 'how to' of therapy. Trauma Model Therapy is written primarily for therapists, but can also be read by the general public. The book provides hands-on techniques, strategies and interventions in two ways: through description and discussion and through transcripts of therapy conservations. The research, clinical interventions and ideas presented are a combination of the authors' experience, original ideas and a composite of the work of many prominent researchers, and clinicians in the field.
