| Summary |
"This book presents a manualized treatment that, on one hand, is sufficiently specific and rigorous to be used in research and, on the other hand, is sufficiently flexible to be used by clinicians in their daily practice. The text also can be used in graduate training programs and is consistent with the American Psychological Association's recommendations to provide training in evidence-based approaches. Ultimately, the aim of this book is to present theoretical and practical aspects of emotion-focused therapy for trauma (EFTT), as well as supporting research with enough specificity that clinicians from different theoretical perspectives can apply the complete package or integrate aspects of the model into their current practice. The model can be modified, while keeping with key intervention principles, to meet the needs of different clients in terms of trauma type and severity, symptom profile and severity, and length of treatment. This book is presented in two parts. Part I, Theory, introduces general concepts that are important throughout the treatment. As such, it includes four chapters that describe relevant features of trauma, a model of how EFTT addresses these features, and the core constructs of emotion and experiencing. Part II, Intervention, describes processes and procedures in each of the phases of EFTT. Intervention chapters in Part II include sections on the relevance of a particular emotion or process to trauma work and guidelines for distinguishing among different types of emotion and associated emotional-processing difficulties. These chapters also outline the central principles and goals while giving step-by-step guidelines for conducting interventions and completing therapeutic tasks. Finally, they provide guidelines for addressing client difficulties and therapist errors that typically occur in this type of therapy"--Introduction.
