Treating Complex Trauma and Dissociation: A Practical Guide to Navigating Therapeutic Challenges

by Lynette S. Danylchuk, Kevin J Connors

Treating Complex Trauma and Dissociation is the ideal guide for the front-line clinician whose clients come in with histories of trauma, abuse, self-injury, flashbacks, suicidal behavior, and more. The book helps clinicians develop their own responses and practical solutions to common questions, including "How do I handle this?" "What do I say?" and "What can I do?" Treating Complex Trauma and Dissociation is the book clinicians will want to pick up when they're stuck and is a handy reference that provides the tools needed to deal with difficult issues in therapy. It is supportive and respectful of both therapist and client, and, most of all, useful in the office.

A good enough introduction to treating CPTSD.

[Na'ama Yehuda · Rating 5 out of 5]

In "Treating Complex Trauma and Dissociation", Danylchuk and Connors wrote an important and well thought out book about a crucially important topic: The treatment of complex trauma and the challenges that chronic traumatization and dissociative coping bring to therapy of people with complex PTSD. The authors' combined clinical experience and astute perceptions of clients' needs and inevitable (yet resolvable) therapeutic challenges make this book a real gem. It should be seen as an important addition to the library of any professional who works with traumatized persons. Well done!
