Synopsis

How to start, do, and complete psychotherapy that is trauma-and attachment-based as well as culturally informed.

Most books about doing psychotherapy are tied to particular psychotherapeutic practices. Here, seasoned clinical author Robin Shapiro teaches listeners the ins and outs of a trauma—and attachment—informed approach that is not tied to any one model or method.

This book teaches assessment, treatment plans, enhancing the therapeutic relationship, and ethics and boundary issues, all within a general framework of attachment theory and trauma. Practical chapters talk about working with attachment problems, grief, depression, cultural differences, affect tolerance, anxiety, addiction, trauma, skill-building, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and the beginning and end of therapy.

Filled with examples, suggestions for dialogue, and questions for a variety of therapeutic situation, Shapiro's conversational tone makes the book very relatable. Early-career therapists will refer to it for years to come, and veteran practitioners looking for a refresher (or introduction) to the latest in trauma and attachment work will find it especially useful.

Goodreads review by Nihou

This book is fabulous. It felt like have a psychotherapy trainer with me, guiding me through techniques that work and are valuable. I've already put some of them into practice, and the effect for the people who come to me has been really important. She is also like having a supervisor, as she helps......more

This was a super easy-to-read book that broke down clinical knowledge in a tangible way. I enjoyed how they pulled from multiple modalities and showed specific examples. It’s a great book for newer clinicians or anyone who wants to revisit fundamentals.......more
