Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents brings together two powerful treatment directions that exponentially expand the knowledge and skills available to child and adolescent trauma therapists. The book provides theoretical knowledge, clinical approaches, and specific, detailed techniques that clinicians will find indispensable in the treatment of the most challenging and high-risk young trauma victims. Also included are case studies, developed from over three decades of experience, that show the reader how to use the techniques in real-life settings. The treatment approach described here is flexible enough to adapt to real clients in the real world, regardless of trauma and attachment histories, family and living situations, or difficulties engaging in supportive therapeutic relationships. Clear and cohesive, the model presented here allows room for the individuality and approach of each therapist so that the therapeutic relationship can evolve in a genuine and unique way. An appendix of photocopiable worksheets gives interactive tools for therapists to immediately use with clients.

Reviews for Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents: Phase-Oriented Strategies for Addressing Complex Trauma Disorders

Attachment-Focused Trauma Treatment for Children and Adolescents is a great addition to the current literature on childhood traumatization. Developmental trauma remains an under-diagnosed and under-treated issue, and attachment disruption and dissociation often play a role in both trauma and its aftermath. In this book, Gomez-Peralez offers insight into the complex and often puzzling ways that trauma affects regulation, relating, and behavior. She provides numerous practical suggestions for stabilization and intervention that can be applicable not only to clinicians but also to caregivers and educators. -Na'ama Yehuda, MSC SLP, speech language pathologist in private practice in New York City, international consultant on developmental trauma and communication, and co-chair of the Child and Adolescent Committee of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation
