A guide to the treatment of (complex) PTSD

If children or adolescents have had traumatic experiences such as an accident, abuse, maltreatment or escape, some of them develop disturbing trauma symptoms. In addition to stressful memories and nightmares, they experience anxiety and feelings of shame, as well as self-injury and aggression. Because the symptoms can be so varied, this practical book provides a psychotherapeutic guide for treatment that meets the patient’s needs. The goal is to process the traumatic experiences in a safe setting in order to make resources accessible again.

This book includes:

  • Practice-relevant knowledge about trauma and trauma consequences,
  • Strategies for relationship building and therapy planning oriented to the needs of those affected,
  • Case examples for implementing highly effective, evidence-based methods of coping with trauma in a modular, integrative approach,
  • Starting points for dealing with difficult feelings such as shame, guilt and fear,
  • self-care and networking opportunities for therapists,
  • Immediately applicable work materials and checklists.
