How to start, perform, and complete trauma and attachment-based psychotherapy.
Most books on psychotherapy are associated with specific therapeutic practices.
In this textbook, psychologist and author Robin Shapiro teaches readers the "secrets" of an approach based on trauma and attachment that is not connected to any therapy model or method, but rather is an empirical study with traumatized clients.
In this book, the reader will be guided step-by-step through the entire therapeutic process from beginning to end. Starting with assessment, therapeutic planning, strengthening the therapeutic relationship, informing about ethics and boundaries, to closing therapy sessions.
The practical chapters address working with attachment issues, loss, depression, cultural differences, mental resilience, anxiety, addiction, trauma, skill-building, suicidal ideation, and psychosis issues. Shapiro's textbook includes numerous examples, dialogue suggestions, and questions for a variety of therapeutic situations. This book serves as a practical and useful clinical guide for both therapists starting their careers and experienced therapists seeking new knowledge in trauma and attachment therapy.
