Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy with Trauma Survivors

"Trauma can have a tremendous impact on a person's capacity to trust and feel safe in intimate relationships; yet treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) generally focus on the individual client. This book suggests that couple therapy can play a vital role in recovery for individual survivors at the same time as it addresses trauma-related issues in the relationship as a whole. From pioneering treatment developer Susan M. Johnson, the volume presents a systematic intervention approach designed to modify the interactional patterns that maintain traumatic stress and foster positive, healing attachments among survivors and their partners. Combining theoretical innovation, evidence-based techniques, and wisdom gleaned from decades of front-line clinical experience, it is a vital resource for practitioners in a wide range of settings."--BOOK JACKET.
