Summary

Regardless of the nature of PTSD and its context, there is agreement that a psychologically traumatic event will demand extraordinary efforts to cope with a sense of helplessness, fear, horror, or disgust. Edited by leaders in the field and featuring contributions by both seasoned clinicians and newer practitioners with expertise in relevant, cutting-edge, evidence-based practices, Treatment of Traumatized Adults and Children helps busy practitioners in social work, counseling, and psychology implement evidence-based practices by providing the "how-to" and "what now" rather than using the typical academic approach.
