Description:

This is a book for clinicians.  More specifically, it is a book for clinicians to use with their clients affected by trauma's squalae.  Unique in its approach, author Linda Curran not only defines and explains the current trauma paradigm-relevant, theories and current neuroscience, but step-by-step demonstrates its in-session clinical utility and applicability.

This is the book that clinicians will refer to daily - the beat-up book whose pages are falling out due to excessive handling, referencing specific pages over and over, and copying handouts for clients.

From assessment through stabilization, from internal and external resourcing to the working through of traumatic material, each chapter guides the clinician further into trauma's theory and practice.  Recommended for all clinicians working with trauma, this book is a clear and concise, reader-friendly illumination of the HOW and the WHY of trauma treatment.

Praise for "Trauma Competency"

"Trauma Competency...draws from a rich variety of sources and tools to help clients navigate the challenging waters of trauma.  This comprehensive guide utilizes not only traditional cognitive approaches but extends to such areas as nutritional supplementation and cutting edge somatic exercises that help to restore the body/mind to equilibrium and wholeness."

~Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.

author of Waking The Tiger, Healing Trauma, and Healing Trauma, A Pioneering Program for Restoring the Wisdom of your Body

"It is a user-friendly, accessible but comprehensive manual that should be in the library of any therapist who works with trauma, and in the library of the clients themselves.  Those who use it will soon find it full of yellow stickies, folded page tips and highlighted sections of print, so it should also be within easy reach."

~Robert C. Scaer, M.D.

author of The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation and Disease

"A handbook that any trauma clinician can make instant use of.  Curran has collected a treasure trove of wisdom and practical advice from leaders in the field of traumatic stress, editing the format into a highly accessible and easily useable treatment adjunct."

~Babette Rothschild
