Summary:

Whether it's physical, psychological, social, historical, or ongoing, trauma is a universal experience, and this book provides professionals with the approaches necessary to provide successful and empowering interventions across the trauma spectrum. Individuals profiled include a victim of incest, a postwar veteran, children whose parents died in 9/11, families who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina, and refugees who survived torture. Chapters are grouped according to the level of trauma experienced (personal, interpersonal, social, community, and political) and provide insight into the psychological and spiritual resources practitioners will need. Readers will learn to strengthen their sense of self to prevent secondary trauma.
