In this wonderful book Margaret Pack combines a rich therapeutic perspective with sound research in developing practice guidelines for managing trauma. It should prove to be a valuable resource for therapists and researchers alike.Tony Ward, Professor, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New ZealandWorking with people who have suffered trauma can tax the resources of even the most experienced practitioner. With great understanding and sensitivity Margaret Pack reviews how working with trauma can affect practitioners personally and socially before then taking a practical and informed look at how self-care, good supervision and a supportive organisation can help the professional remain robust, responsive and emotionally available. The book provides the reader with a thoughtful, expert and caring guide to working well and staying well when providing support and treatment for those who have suffered the trauma of violence, abuse and neglect.David Howe, Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK
