About this title

Review:

The children, families, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy come alive in this comprehensive, invaluable new edition. The authors, the world s leading voices in the treatment of young traumatized children, richly incorporate a wealth of experience gleaned from a decade of delivering this state-of-the-art intervention. One can hear their unmistakable voice of compassion, sensitivity, and admiration for the courage of these vulnerable children. --Robert S. Pynoos, MD, MPH Co-Director UCLA/Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine

The long-awaited second edition of Don t Hit My Mommy! is a thorough updating of the basic premises and core principles of Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an exemplary evidence-based, relational treatment for high-risk children and families. Although CPP was originally based on psychoanalysis and attachment theory, its contemporary form has been influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy, stress and trauma work, social learning theory, and developmental psychopathology. Multiple randomized control trials (RCTs) support CPP efficacy in promoting attachment security and decreasing trauma symptoms in young children and their families. Lieberman and her co-authors ability to translate the work of CPP into a deep understanding of the trauma experience in families with domestic violence and child maltreatment holds great promise for improving the lives of children and families. This new edition of Don t Hit My Mommy! will be a seminal contribution. It is an invaluable resource to therapists who work with young children and to professionals working in child and family psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and education. --Dante Cicchetti, PhD Institute of Child Development, University of Minnesota Professional Development
