"Written by expert clinicians and undisputed leaders in the field,
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, Bethany Beach, Delaware
"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
