A truly excellent resource. We found it after a great deal of research. Specially recommended to families of small children traumatized by abuse. Dr. Cohen is brilliant.

I have to agree with the other reviews that describe this book as thorough and well-written. The authors use language that is psychology-based but also accessible to non-psychology oriented readers. It is written in a logical order and covers all the bases of trauma-based therapy work.
One thing that I especially appreciate about this book is that it discusses the various domains of one's life that trauma affects: emotions, thoughts, behaviors, biological/physical factors, etc. I also love how easily it lays out the steps that are taken to help a traumatized child/teen. The "PRACTICE" approach that the authors introduce is easy to follow and to put into action, for the most part. Even for therapists who are not using the CBT model of psychology (which is me), this book gives plenty of good ideas and tips for how to best treat those affected by trauma.
The appendices are also quite helpful in guiding readers to related works and in providing concrete examples of activities suggested by the authors.
Overall, this is a very worthy read!

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of trauma on children. The Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach is described in detail, making it easy for practitioners to implement into their practice. I highly recommend this book for mental health practitioners treating traumatized youth.

Wonderful Framework for Counseling July 7, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book was required reading for a postgraduate course for professionals in treating trauma. Excellent resource for the professional counselor - may even be applied to young adults, adults with delayed emotional developmental issues, or developmentally disabled adults. Highly recommended graduated-exposure and appropriate titration to the processing of trauma experiences using an evidence-based practice.
