Listening to a small child describe a parent’s murder can tax the most seasoned professional.  Cases of physical and sexual abuse where trauma was deliberately inflicted can particularly challenge a practitioner’s defenses.

Treating Traumatized Children is the firs handbook to provide specific guidance and tools for treating children who have been traumatized by physical and sexual abuse, disaster, divorce, or witnessing violent events.  This book will provide helping professionals with a clear blueprint for assessing the impact of trauma and developing specific treatment plans.
