Rare Book

Review:

[A] practical resource for those needing a comparative overview of the various trauma treatment methods available.

[D]ue to the complexity of traumas the various approaches warrant significant discussion. In this volume Shapiro has done so brilliantly...[C]an be appreciated by both the experienced clinician as well as members of the general public...[I] welcome Shapiro's book and highly recommend it to anyone concerned about helping others or themselves surmount this affliction.

What a great book. Plainly written, packed with information and resources, the author demonstrates an astonishing depth of knowledge, grasp of scores of trauma therapies, along with compassion and warm empathy for trauma survivors. All this underscored with a scientific objectivity and a lively sense of humor....This book gives the therapist - novice or experienced - a massive choice of approaches to apply to a specific traumatized client.

This is a thorough, accessible, and very practical book, filled with resources and sound ideas, filtered through the intelligence and experience of a savvy, compassionate, down-to-earth, and very experienced clinician. It is like a travel guide to the land of trauma and trauma treatment: if you are new to it, it will orient you to all there is to do and see; if you're a frequent traveler, it is a worthwhile reminder of all that is out there, above and beyond the familiar places you always visit. One couldn't ask for a better guide. I highly recommend it.--Diana Fosha, PhD, Director, The AEDP Institute, and co-editor, The Healing Power of Emotion
