Teaches effective PTSD group treatment. This title not only describes the theory, method, and rationale for this treatment, but also offers a complete, step-by-step clinician's manual and client workbook to help implement the model and establish effective practice.

The awareness of psychological trauma has grown exponentially in the past decade and clinicians in many areas have increasingly found themselves confronted with the need to provide trauma-related services to clients. Still, there remains a serious lack of manuals that guide clinicians using group therapy to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma-Centered Group Psychotherapy for Women: A Clinician's Manual is the important, "how-to" resource that fills this void with a successful theory-based, field-tested model of group therapy for traumatized women. Concise and full of clinical examples, this helpful text includes a session-by-session guide for clinicians and a workbook for clients.
