Integrative Team Treatment for Attachment Trauma in Children: Family Therapy and EMDR
“Often therapists use the term ‘challenging’ to describe children with terrible behaviors that completely disrupt families. This book is an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand approach to treating our most challenging children and their parents. It provides therapists with theoretical background, assessment tools, clinical insights, and strategies to guide effective treatment. Transcripts of actual therapy sessions illuminate the art of therapy at its best.” (Joan Lovett, MD, FAAP, behavioral pediatrician; EMDRIA approved consultant; author, Small Wonders: Healing Childhood Trauma With EMDR)“A comprehensive and well-written volume that presents the practical tools and specific guidance needed to build an effective team approach for helping children who have experienced trauma or neglect establish secure attachment. The authors provide a theoretical foundation for clinicians to explain how attachment trauma affects children’s emotional, behavioral, and psychological development. They take the reader through a wide range of easy-to-follow EMDR procedures that meet the multifaceted treatment needs of children with attachment trauma, addressing every clinical contingency with detailed case vignettes that illustrate each aspect of the treatment process.” (Andrew M.
