Finally—an accessible guide that teaches the step-by-step processes of treatment!
The Child Trauma Handbook is a comprehensive plain-language guide to treating trauma-exposed children and adolescents and those with trauma or loss-related issues.

Informally presented and easy-to-read, this book pulls together all aspects of working with children to become a full-spectrum empirically based, trauma-informed treatment model.

This resource is an integration of data-based interventions, clinical skills, and therapist/worker self-awareness/self-care makes this book valuable for any mental health professional working with kids.
