"The second edition of this amazing resource builds on and expands
the first edition. It conveys a deep understanding of survivors of
abuse and presents a treatment model that flexibly addresses their
varied needs. The book contains practical discussion and
application and includes a wealth of handouts. STAIR Narrative
Therapy fulfills the criteria for an evidence-based treatment, as
it is built on theory, research findings, clinical observation, and
client preferences. STAIR is a fitting acronym--the book presents a
set of skills in a developmental and progressive sequence, one step
at a time."--Christine A. Courtois, PhD, ABPP, private practice
(retired), Washington, DC; consultant and trainer, trauma
psychology and treatment, Bethany Beach, Delaware
“Cloitre and colleagues have done a fabulous job updating and
expanding their book on STAIR Narrative Therapy for childhood abuse
and chronic interpersonal trauma. STAIR is now strongly supported
by the authors' own research, as well as being grounded in the
broader trauma research literature. The book offers a carefully
delineated description of this brief yet comprehensive treatment.
The step-by-step explanations and numerous downloadable handouts
make this book an excellent learning tool for beginning
therapists--it also has plenty to offer seasoned therapists. Highly
recommended."--Catherine C. Classen, PhD, Department of Psychiatry,
University of California, San Francisco
"The authors' theoretical and clinical model of early trauma and
adversity leading to an interrupted life is a very helpful
perspective to understand this important clinical group. This book
provides a detailed treatment manual on how to conduct STAIR
Narrative Therapy. Therapists will hugely benefit from the many
case examples, handouts, and step-by-step instructions. A new
chapter in the second edition describes adaptations of STAIR for
specific populations and settings, showing that the authors
constantly work on refining and developing their evidence-based
approach."--Thomas Ehring, PhD, Department of Psychology,
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Germany
"This second edition leaves no stone unturned. It is an invaluable
resource for both experienced clinicians and the next generation of
therapists, who will gain a precise and systematic method for
helping their clients with childhood trauma. This book uncovers the
troubling complexities of trauma while presenting a promising path
forward through STAIR Narrative Therapy."--David M. Greenberg, PhD,
Zuckerman Postdoctoral Scholar, Bar-Ilan University, Israel;
Visiting Researcher, Department of Psychiatry, University of
Cambridge, United Kingdom-Wonderfully written, with quotes to
reflect upon for each chapter, the book provides handouts, case
scenarios, and explanations and summaries for the goals and skills
developed per chapter section. It is a practice guide for anyone
working with any type and any level of survivorship from
trauma….This book meets the need of any audience who wants to be an
agent of change in thought, word, and action for those who have
somehow survived the very worst that life experiences could
offer….Materials and descriptions provide step-by-step directives
to reduce the potential for child trauma creating maladaptive
adults with repetitive trauma-driven behaviors. Don't miss the
chapters on resource loss, changing relationship patterns, and the
resource of hope. The entire book is of benefit, but these chapters
are amazing and substantive.--Doody's Review Service,
8/24/2020ƒƒThe book presents a solid theoretical foundation on
which the authors have built a detailed plan of action to guide the
therapist and, perhaps just as important, inform the client....The
treatment sequence itself is brilliantly conceived. (on the first
edition)--PsycCRITIQUES, 4/11/2007ƒƒThis is a wonderful
book….Though trauma work is difficult, this book provides a
coherent rationale and treatment program. (on the first
edition)--Doody's Electronic Review, 9/15/2006
