| Summary: | "The serious consequences of child abuse or maltreatment are among the most challenging things therapists encounter. This volume integrates results from the latest research showing the importance of early traumatization into a compact, practical and evidence-based guide for practitioners. This text first overviews our current knowledge of the effects of childhood maltreatment on psychiatric and psychological health, then provides diagnostic guidance, and subsequently goes on to profile promising and effective evidence-based interventions. It helps the practitioner or student to know what to look for, what questions need to be asked, how to handle the sensitive ethical implications, and what are promising avenues for effective coping."--Publisher. |
