Product Description
by Jennifer E. Randall Reyes (Editor), Jessica Haas (Editor)
While trauma touches every community, no single approach can meet the needs of every survivor.
Introduction to Trauma Counseling: Inclusive Approaches offers an inclusive view on how to conceptualize, screen, and assess for trauma. A variety of trauma treatment approaches are offered through evidence-based frameworks, all grounded in cultural humility.
Written by practitioner-researchers with extensive experience in the field, each chapter explores a specific therapeutic theory or intervention, bringing it to life with real-world case studies. Historical context, core goals, intervention strategies, and training considerations are addressed, equipping readers with the knowledge and critical thinking skills they need to become informed mental health professionals.
Rather than advocating for one method, this volume presents diverse modalities side by side, honoring the complexity of trauma and the individuality of survivors' experiences. The text is designed for graduate students in counseling, social work, and psychology, particularly those advancing beyond foundational coursework into focused trauma study.
For counselors, social workers, and psychologists seeking breadth and depth in trauma work, this book is an essential guide.
