Helping Abused and Traumatized Children

"Children who have been traumatized by sexual abuse or other maltreatment may deal with their painful feelings and memories in many different ways. How can a therapist build strong relationships with these vulnerable young clients? What is the best way to target trauma-related symptomatology when a child is unable or unwilling to "talk about it"? This book presents an integrative treatment model that combines play and other expressive therapies with elements of cognitive-behavioral and family therapy. Written with wisdom and empathy by clinician Eliana Gil, the book illustrates how to draw on the strengths of diverse approaches in tailoring therapy to each child's needs." "Attuned to the complexities of real-world clinical practice, this book will enhance the skills of all mental health professionals working with children and families, including child and school psychologists, social workers, play and art therapists, counselors, family therapists, and psychiatrists. It will serve as an invaluable text for graduate students and trainees in these fields."--BOOK JACKET.
