"[A] thorough and useful overview for the beginning therapist or clinical trainee . . . . The book's strengths include the use of case examples running through the chapters and a sophisticated clinical perspective based on extensive experience and a thoughtful approach to challenges that must be handled sensitively in order to do no harm and provide effective psychotherapy with psychological trauma survivors." -- Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
