Written by some of the foremost international experts in dissociation in children and youth, this unique book presents a series of case studies showing how each therapist assessed the clinical presentation of the child/teen as it unfolded, and how the therapists decided to proceed forward with each step. An excellent summary of dissociation is presented by editor and co-author, Sandra Wieland, who was an internationally renowned therapist and consultant on child trauma and dissociation. In this 2015 edition, she also presents commentaries for each presented case study, helping to tie theories of dissociation with our practical clinical work.
If you work only with adults, this book is still sheds a unique and enlightening glimpse into the many presentations of dissociation. Many of the strategies and approaches used by these child therapists also have significance in the treatment of adults. Medical professionals also can learn much about potential internal experiences of their adult patients with Adverse Childhood Experiences through the presentations of the children in this book.
Experts on Dissociation Therapy, such as Richard Kluft and Christine Courtois, have recommended this book as "a required reading" for anyone working with children and adolescents, and as a "much needed and welcome resource", and "richly rewarding and informative" for any clinician interested in trauma treatment.
