About the Book
Online Group Trauma Therapy: An Accessible, Skills-Based Approach shows clinicians how to provide trauma therapy in group format that can be either online or in-person.
The integrative, phase-based approach of the therapy is structured to provide clients with skills and tools to manage and regulate intense posttraumatic symptoms and then process and integrate their traumatic experiences. It’s a modality useful for clinicians with a wide variety of clients, including those who have experienced complex trauma, who come from a wide range of socioeconomic statuses, and who have diverse backgrounds.
Clinicians will find the methods presented here intuitive, user-friendly, and easy to deliver. The limited number of sessions and group-based arrangement also makes them cost effective.
Online Group Trauma Therapy offers clinicians an opportunity to reach more clients who are isolated, remote, and otherwise unable to travel to a clinic. The book also gives clinicians the tools they need to treat larger numbers of people simultaneously and thereby attend to more clients in need of treatment.
