Transformative A Trauma-Focused Approach to Caregiving defines a new paradigm for helping others in the 21st century. It is an essential foundation for service providers to gain knowledge and skills for excelling in their role as a professional caregiver. This book goes far beyond merely defining and advocating for trauma-informed caregiving. Instead, it teaches the developing care provider the mastery and skillset needed to safely and effectively intervene, with a trauma-focused approach, in the lives of those who are suffering from a painful past. Providers will learn how to facilitate healing and recovery in clients’ and patients’ lives, without overstepping the bounds of their professional scope of practice.
I’ve read “Transformative Care” and it’s sure to be a landmark work among those who lead the suffering towards healing and recovery. Thoroughly documented as a textbook, but also readily able to be absorbed into the practical everyday world of service. Students and veteran caregivers/healers alike would benefit by making this book your next read. For me, it is within a hand reach to consult.
