I bought this book not realizing that it was a bit dated, and so some of my issues with it likely stem from that fact. This book provides is a comprehensive, step-by-step set of directions for how to practice CBT with survivors of rape. It breaks down the process into smaller pieces so that you could quite easily use it as a guide for a set of sessions with survivors. Although I wouldn't personally use it like that, I like that it lays everything out clearly and even has scripts for how to explain various interventions. Some therapy books will explain the concepts without showing what that might look or sound like in an actual therapy room, and this book does exactly that. I wonder what an updated version of this would look like and whether the authors would make any adjustments given the newer research in trauma therapy.
