Pretreatment Across Multiple Fields of Practice: Trauma Informed Approach to Homelessness and Beyond Jay and Louise Levy and their co-authors have distilled years of diverse experience serving people with complex psychological and physical needs into a much-needed roadmap for providers. This book clearly outlines working principles that will guide practitioners in the art of building authentic and effective working partnerships with people experiencing homelessness and other traumas, while minimizing re-traumatization and creating psychological safety. Carefully chosen case studies beautifully illustrate how these principles can be put into practice in a variety of settings--from street outreach to shelters to special education classrooms--and are attentive to the impact of racism and other forms of oppression. --Kiko Malin, MPH, MSW, Public Health Director, Amherst, Massachusetts As a representative of the Street Medicine Institute, and more importantly the global street medicine movement, Jay's work is a beacon not just to light the path we are on, but to guide us towards a better place. --Jim Withers, MD, Medical Director and Founder of Mercy's Operation Safety Net and the Street Medicine Institute (Pittsburgh) This new collection demonstrates that Pretreatment-thinking offers people working with all kinds of human services a powerful, practical framework for engagement, for change, and ultimately for healing. --Alex Bax, Chief Executive (London), Pathway - Homeless & Inclusion Health www.pathway.org.uk As Levy, Connolly, and others argue in this important book, the concept of Pre-treatment Therapy is of major applicability way beyond the field of homelessness. Its ideas and concepts should be core reading for psychologists and psychiatrists, and indeed anybody hoping to work with people affected by chronic experiences of trauma in a psychologically informed way. --Dr Peter Cockersell, DPsych, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Psychologically Informed Environments Consultant, Chief Executive of Community Housing and Therapy Learn more at www.JaySLevy.com
