Description
Book SynopsisIntegrated Care for the Traumatized puts forth a model for the future of behavioral health focused on health care integration and the importance of the Whole Person Approach (WPA) in guiding the integration. This book fills a void applying the WPA integration to the traumatized that enables the reader to learn from experienced trauma practitioners on how to assess and treat trauma as humanely and compassionately as possible. This approach of expanding the possibilities of behavioral health by centering upon the whole person is an old idea that is emerging as a modern solution to over specialized practices. Among other things this WPA approach, completed with spirituality, psychology, medicine, social work, and psychiatry, helps traumatized and their families function in the social environment. The book has four sections: Foundations, Interventions for Individuals, Interventions for Communities, and Future of Integrative Care for the Traumatized. Each chapter discusses the importance of working within an integrative and WP approach, with descriptions of integrative models, research evidence and applications that are already working. These chapters can help students, families, and seasoned professionals to improve upon and expand their practice with the traumatized in both the individual and community contexts.
Trade ReviewIntegrated Care for the Traumatized addresses important current issues related to trauma in various populations, including the impact of war on refugees, soldiers, and children. This book is a significant contribution to the field of trauma and healing, and is important to our understanding of how populations are impacted by trauma and which modalities are most effective for treatment. A very moving and meaningful work. -- Carolyn Shoshana, Sonoma State University
This text offers a refreshing approach to sharing the voices and experiences of school counselors working with today's diverse children and adolescents. Each case study is grounded in a theoretical orientation that drives the reader to consider the purpose behind the interventions and strategies applied in a real-world setting. This must-read book provides the reader, especially school counselors-in-training, with the opportunity to bridge theory and practice and can foster rich and lively discussions at any stage of a counselor's professional growth and development. -- Elizabeth Villares, Florida Atlantic University
Integrated Care for the Traumatized: A Whole Person Approach is an innovative text that covers a range of individual and communal interventions using a variety of modalities.

Courtois, retired licensed psychologist, independent pratice, Washington, D.C.
