this wonderful book provides a detailed description of the 'whys'
and 'hows' of group treatment for trauma survivors. The authors'
relational approach has a demonstrable empirical basis that sets a
new standard for clinicians. The book is sure to produce a splash
in psychology, psychiatry, and social work--and using it with
clients will yield enduring benefits. If you do groups with trauma
and abuse survivors, buy this book."--John Briere, PhD, Department
of Psychiatry, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern
California
"This comprehensive resource adds significantly to the available
resources on treatment for trauma, walking the therapist through
the entire process of group-based exposure and trauma processing.
The group format is especially important for the traumatized--it
provides a context in which to give and receive support and
feedback and to break the isolation and shame associated with
trauma. Bravo for this exciting new treatment
contribution!"--Christine A. Courtois, PhD, ABPP, private practice
(retired), Washington, DC; consultant and trainer, trauma
psychology and treatment"Presenting a well-known group treatment
for trauma survivors, this book makes a substantial contribution.
The goals and structure of the therapy are described in a clear and
accessible way so that providers of various levels of experience
can implement it. Sensitivity to the relational aspects of trauma
recovery pervades the book and is evident in the careful attention
to group interactions, elements of effective co-leadership, and the
role of supervision. This principled, practical guide is steeped in
clinical wisdom accumulated over years of experience. There is no
false step in this book."--Marylene Cloitre, PhD, Associate
Director of Research, National Center for PTSD Dissemination and
Training Division; Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral
Sciences, Stanford University
"A comprehensive, practical, evidence-based guide. This volume
provides everything needed to successfully conduct the Trauma
Recovery Group. The book is unique in combining theory, numerous
clinical examples, outcome data, and reproducible forms for
everything from advertisement to evaluation. The authors are
respected, experienced clinicians whose scientific approach and
clinical skills shine throughout the book. It's a trauma
clinician's dream come true."--Elizabeth S. Bowman, MD, Adjunct
Professor, Department of Neurology, Indiana University, and private
practice in psychiatry- This teaching manual is a well-written,
easy-to-read, 'how-to' book on The Trauma Recovery Group
(TRG)....This book is easy to read, thoughtfully written, and well
organized and achieves its stated goals and objectives. The reader
is not required to have previous knowledge and skills in group
psychotherapy or interpersonal violence. I would highly recommend
it to anyone considering starting a focused psychotherapy
group....I congratulate the authors on writing an effective
training manual for TRG and providing useful information and
valuable tools for other group therapists. --Journal of Nervous and
Mental Disease, 9/3/2012ƒƒ Provides clinicians with a comprehensive
theoretical, conceptual, and practical framework for facilitating
trauma-informed groups, and with a step-by-step manual that guides
the worker from intake and screening, through each group session,
to termination....This workbook is written for clinicians by
clinicians. It is an extremely accessible text, and is as much a
guide to solid group work practice as it is anything....A stellar
resource for social group workers who wish to facilitate
trauma-informed groups. It combines a social action and social
justice approach to psychodynamic group psychotherapy, and
incorporates the skills and values of mutual aid. This book is
equally at home on the shelves of mental health agencies that serve
trauma survivors, as it is on the syllabi of MSW classes that teach
about trauma and intimate partner violence. It is thorough,
thoughtful, and arguable, on of the finest texts on trauma-informed
practice that I have come across in recent memory. --Social Work
