'This volume performs an enormous service... It is comprehensive, exhaustively researched, and carefully edited....[It] is grounded in theory and outcome research and also immediately translatable into clinical practice. The detail in which protocols and interventions are described adds significantly to its worth. Clinicians and academicians whose work involves community mental health, forensics, or disempowered populations of any kind will find it invaluable.' - The Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research; 'This is a book by and for clinicians and scholars. Each therapeutic problem is elegantly reconceptualized as a cognitive and/or behavioral challenge which is then translated into a practical treatment strategy. Thoughtful transcripts of actual therapy sessions attest to the feasibility, accessibility, and effectiveness of such a conceptually driven treatment approach.' - Mathew J. Friedman, MD, PhD; 'Representing the scientist practitioner approach at its best, this book provides a sweeping, detailed, and complex view of trauma... Chapters expertly balance empirical evidence with a sensitive understanding of the human, emotional experience of trauma survivors.' - Antonette M. Zeiss, PhD; 'This state-of-the-science book provides a practical guide to empirically supported interventions. Impressive in scope and scholarship, it highlights the emerging standard of care across the diverse forms of trauma.' - Kenneth S. Pope, PhD, ABPP
