Approaches to Psychic Trauma: Theory and Practice (English Edition) Kindle版

Essential: Approaches to Psychic Trauma is an exhaustive volume describing the various elements of trauma and its treatments. The first strength of the book lies in its organization. The reader is first given a brief history of the concept of trauma and its various therapeutic approaches, followed by in-depth discussion of the different types and presentations of trauma, succeeded by an overview of the current approaches to treatment--including art therapy and the neurosequential model of therapeutics (NMT), which seeks to address the biological developmental changes that happen to children after trauma. The chapter on NMT is an especially valuable one as hospitals, clinics, schools, and communities are increasingly recognizing the importance of considering the role that traumatic and abusive environments play in child development. The second strength of the book lies in the clinical material, which includes eight case studies of traumatic experiences and treatment. While this book will not be helpful for undergraduates or non-clinical graduate students, it is a necessary addition to collections serving clinical programs and current practitioners.--CHOICE

Bernd Huppertz's new compendium on trauma is breathtaking. An all-star group of contributors brings a breadth and depth of understanding that will inform all therapists who strive to help those who suffer in an increasingly traumatizing world.--David Scharff, MD, International Psychotherapy Institute, and chair, International Psychoanalytic Association Committee on Couple and Family Psychoanalysis

This monumental book is a tribute to Huppertz's unstinting dedication to comprehensively examine the nature of different kinds of trauma. Illustrated with a diversity of theories and techniques for understanding how history and personalities affect the individual, it is ideal for practitioners of all levels.--Frances Thomson-Salo, associate professor, University of Melbourne, Australia --このテキストは、paperback版に関連付けられています。
