Preeminent clinical researchers provide a comprehensive framework for assessing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), other trauma-related symptoms, and traumatic grief in 3- to 18-year-olds; building core coping skills; and directly addressing and making meaning of children’s trauma experiences. Implementation is facilitated by sample scripts, case examples, troubleshooting tips, and reproducible client handouts. Purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2″ x 11″ size.

Review

“This manual represents the gold standard for synthesizing the best research and clinical practice into a coherent treatment model. Especially notable is the attention to ongoing developments in the field, such as the interest in a grief-related diagnosis. The authors are acutely sensitive to the needs of front-line clinicians working with complicated cases in various settings. They have expanded the original model in a way that is considerate of real-world challenges by offering therapists practical suggestions for adapting the core TF-CBT techniques to make them their own.”–Robin F. Goodman, PhD, private practice, New York City; Executive Director, A Caring Hand organization and bereavement program

“Developed by three of our most important child trauma researchers, TF-CBT represents a state-of-the-art approach for understanding and treating this underserved population. This second edition couldn’t be more timely for clinicians who work with children, adolescents, and families. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated in the authors’ clinical research studies as well as studies from other laboratories across the world, and the inclusion of multiple clinical examples renders the book usable for clinicians of all backgrounds and training.”–Terence M. Keane, PhD, National Center for PTSD, VA Boston Healthcare System, and Department of Psychiatry, Boston University School of Medicine

“Covering every aspect of TF-CBT–including the critical role of the therapeutic relationship and the flexible use of treatment procedures–this book provides a complete understanding of our most effective treatment for children and youth with trauma-related problems. Practitioners will greatly appreciate the extensive case examples and excellent clinical materials. I have never read a treatment manual in which every point made was so thoroughly grounded in the most recent scientific research. From start to finish, the authors combine the best science and clinical experience with a laser focus on tailoring treatment to the individual needs of each child and family. This book is evidence-based practice at its best. It should be read and studied by every therapist working with traumatized children and youth.”–Benjamin E. Saunders, PhD, Professor and Associate Director, National Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina
