Trauma Competency: A Clinician's Guide

This book is a great resource, chock full of practical info and skills you can share with clients. TIP: I take all books like this that are meant to be photocopied to Kinkos (or whatever big copy shop is by you) and have them cut the spine off and 3 hole punch it. It costs like, $2. Then you can easily send it through the copy feeder instead of having to stand and flip pages and try to flatten them so you don't get that gray part on the copy.

This book is out-dated and has old DSM criteria. It has some practical worksheets but not an updates trauma workbook.

This book is a wonderful beginner's tool for trauma so far. I have enjoyed reading about the various suggested techniques, and I have received feedback from my clients that they enjoy the psychoeducational part of the reading as well. Would recommend this book to other budding clinicians!

This is a must have for every clinician dealing with PTSD and Trauma. It is a very comprehensive quick read that covers everything from the DSM-IV criteria to the unique grounding exercises including tapping. This is a great book, a must have.

This is the MOST comprehensive compilation of up to date trauma modalities and their practical application I have seen to date! My new therapy ‘short cut, cheat sheet’; also includes many pages of reprintable handouts/exercises for clients.

Anyone who is dealing with those affected by short and long term afflicted PTSD and complex PTSD survivors will definitely appreciate and learn from this volume. It has several very good work sheets to work through with clients and will expand the professional's own understanding of what we deal with in affected individuals. I will refer to tis volume regularly as I work with those co-affected by alcohol/drug problems and PTSD. Recommended for the professional.

Fast. Great.

I love this book and will use it often. Breaks down some of the basic skills in self-regulation clearly. Can be used as a self-help book or by a clinician working with clients.

I am thrilled with this book, it is really insightful, well written, easy to use & very practical.
