How to start, conduct, and complete a psychotherapy based on trauma and attachment.
Most books on psychotherapy are linked to specific psychotherapeutic practices.
In this book, psychologist and author Robin Shapiro teaches readers the "secrets" of an approach based on trauma and attachment that is not tied to any model or method of therapy, but simply represents an empirical multi-year study with psychologically traumatized clients.
In this book, the reader will be guided step-by-step through the entire psychotherapeutic process from start to finish. Starting from assessment, therapeutic planning, strengthening the therapeutic relationship, informing about ethics and boundaries, to the closing of therapeutic sessions.
The practical chapters refer to working with issues of attachment, loss, depression, cultural differences, mental resilience, anxiety, addiction, trauma, skill-building, issues of suicidal ideation, and psychosis topics. Shapiro's book includes many examples, dialogue suggestions, and questions for a variety of therapeutic situations. This book is a practical and useful clinical guide for both therapists who are just starting their careers and more experienced therapists seeking new knowledge in trauma and attachment therapy.
