From Trauma to Healing: A Social Worker's Guide to Working with Survivors

by Ann Goelitz

From Trauma to A Social Worker’s Guide for Working With Survivors is the next significant publication on trauma in the field of social work. Since September 11 and Hurricane Katrina, social workers have come together increasingly to consider how traumatic events impact practice. From Trauma to Healing is designed to provide direction in this process, supporting both the field’s movement towards evidence-based practice and social workers’ growing need to be equipped to work with trauma. It does so in the practical-guide format already proven to be compelling to social work students, educators, and practitioners, providing case examples, and addressing social workers’ unique ecological approach.

[Michael Silverman · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book succeeds in introducing core trauma-informed principles/theory, particularly with an emphasis on safety, trust, and the therapeutic relationship to a young, inexperienced audience. The book also provides a broad overview of domains specifically relevant to social work practice.
