Abnormal psychology

Most books about doing psychotherapy are tied to particular psychotherapeutic practices. Here, seasoned clinical author Robin Shapiro teaches readers the ins and outs of a trauma- and attachment- informed approach that is not tied to any one model or method.

This book teaches assessment, treatment plans, enhancing the therapeutic relationship, and ethics and boundary issues, all within a general framework of attachment theory and trauma. Practical chapters talk about working with attachment problems, grief, depression, cultural differences, affect tolerance, anxiety, addiction, trauma, skill- building, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and the beginning and end of therapy. Filled with examples, suggestions for dialogue, and questions for a variety of therapeutic situation, Shapiro's conversational tone makes the book very relatable. Early- career therapists will refer to it for years to come, and veteran practitioners looking for a refresher (or introduction) to the latest in trauma and attachment work will find it especially useful.

Reviews for Doing Psychotherapy: A Trauma and Attachment-Informed Approach

This is one of those books that every aspiring psychotherapist should be reading. Why? Because it's the clearest, most thorough, most compassionate look inside the work of psychotherapy that I've ever encountered. It's also a book that we seasoned folks might want to consider as a reminder of why we're doing this challenging, rewarding work. This book is like a consult session with one of the best.--Laura S.
