This authoritative guide has introduced many tens of thousands of clinicians to Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a leading evidence-based treatment for children exposed to traumatic life events and their parents or caregivers. The authors are preeminent clinical researchers who provide a comprehensive framework and practical tools for assessment and intervention. Incorporating a decade’s worth of advances in TF-CBT research and clinical practice, the fully revised second edition includes new chapters on the model’s growing evidence base and on group therapy applications, and is updated for DSM-5. It features expanded coverage of complex trauma, including ways to apply TF-CBT with children with severe behavioral or affective dysregulation. Part I offers an overview of TF-CBT: how it works, procedures for pre- and posttreatment assessment, and important considerations in treatment. Research supporting the approach is summarized and the role of the TF-CBT therapist discussed. Parts II and III describe the trauma-focused and grief-focused components of the model, respectively. Each component includes both child and parent interventions, addressing such goals as building core coping skills and parenting skills, managing difficult emotions, making meaning from trauma experiences, and enhancing future safety and development. Cultural and developmental issues are addressed throughout. Implementation is facilitated by sample scripts, case examples, troubleshooting tips, and reproducible client handouts. Books and games for use during treatment are described, and resources for further training identified. Grounded in cutting-edge research, but attuned to the complexities of real-world clinical practice, this book is an essential reference for clinical child/adolescent psychologists, counselors, social workers, and psychiatrists, as well as graduate students and trainees.

I really like this book and approach. It provides background, scientific research, and sufficient structure for treatment fidelity without limiting clinicians’ ability to meet individual client/patient needs.
