This forward-thinking volume outlines several approaches to therapeutic treatment for individuals who have experienced complex childhood and adult trauma, providing a framework for helping challenging patients and emphasizing the importance of maintaining good therapeutic relationships. Responding to the intense disagreement and competition among clinicians championing their own approaches, the book identifies the strengths and limitations of multiple theories of treatment, addressing the need for qualified clinicians to be versed in multiple theories and techniques in order to best benefit their patients.Among the topics discussed:Difficulties in diagnosing cPTSD among other similarly presenting disordersCultural and ethnic considerations in trauma treatmentAddressing avoidance when talking to patientsMaintaining the therapeutic relationship with aggressive patientsTreating Complex Trauma: Combined Theories and Methods serves as a practical guide for therapists looking to applying multiple approaches in their practice, with the aim of providing the most effective treatment strategy possible for each individual.For the first time in the professional literature we are finally afforded a clear, cogent, and detailed explication of complex trauma and the multifaceted parameters of treatment.??Dr. Tamara McClintock Greenberg provides perspicacious insight and clinical wisdom only a seasoned career therapist can yield.??Offering sophisticated and nuanced distinctions between complex trauma and PTSD, she shows how treatment is necessarily contextual and tailored to the unique clinical and personality dynamics of the sufferer that is thoroughly client specific within the therapeutic dyad.??She dispenses with simplistic and supercilious attitudes that embarrassingly boast a uniform or manualized treatment to trauma, instead carefully taking into consideration polysymptomatic, neurobiological, and socialcultural differences that inform the interpersonal, emotional, and safety milieu from the beginning of treatment to stabilization, the working-through process, and then onto successful recovery.??This is a must-read book for those in training and senior clinicians alike. ? --Jon Mills, PsyD, PhD, ABPP, Faculty, Postgraduate Programs in Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy, Adelphi University, NY; author of?Treating Attachment Pathology
