Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Informative, concise, and thorough
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.

Rating: - Wonderful Framework for Counseling
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.
Rating: - Describes the Theory well
After attending trainings on this method I was inclined to get the book which went into more detail on the TF-CBT method. I find the book helpful and a good reminder of the "shoulds" and "should nots" for this treatment modality. Worth the money and not a bad price.
