Rezensionen

"Clinically applicable, thoroughly researched, and a pleasure to read, this book is a remarkable addition to the child and adolescent literature! For any therapist working with traumatized youth, Shilson brings her respectful, caring approach and pairs it with practical tools. The techniques are useful, easy to follow, creative, and developmentally sensitive. For educators in the field of child therapy, this book brings a thoughtful approach to intervention with the child, their parents, and families, and it grapples with issues that are oftentimes skipped over in child treatment. For seasoned clinicians and students alike, this is a rare find!" - Robert T. Muller, PhD, author of Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up and professor of clinical psychology at York University in Ontario, Canada





"Kim Shilson has written a brilliant comprehensive text on the therapeutic treatment of traumatized children and adolescents. She includes the basics of diagnosis and assessment, treatment frame, and the therapeutic relationship together with a variety of approaches that represent the best and latest ideas in the field. This is far more than 'just' a book on somatic approaches. It is a necessary addition to the library of every child therapist." - Janina Fisher, PhD, assistant educational director at Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute





"Kim Shilson has written a valuable resource for any clinician who works with youth. Weaving relevant literature with practical application, she provides a comprehensive overview of how to approach and proceed with youth clients. Her vignettes breathe life into case examples and allow the reader to get a feel for the challenges faced by these young clients. This book is a great guide to a rewarding and meaningful engagement with youth in psychotherapeutic practice, and Kim Shilson illustrates beginning to end the tasks and relationships necessary to work with youth. The presentations of therapeutic options, illustrations, and tables make the work accessible and instantly applicable. An inspiring text." - Rochelle Sharpe Lohrasbe, PhD, EMDRIA-approved consultant, faculty at Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and practicing psychotherapist in British Columbia, Canada
