The definitive Guide to the Practical Transformation of Trauma brings together the work of leading international experts on trauma, providing a detailed overview of trauma-informed practice and intervention: its history, the latest frameworks for practice, and an inspiring vision for the future of transformative practice in trauma.

The Guide is interdisciplinary, incorporating trauma research, interpersonal neuroscience, the historical and ongoing experiences of victims and survivors, as well as insights from professionals. It addresses a range of current issues that span from polyvagal theory to the social brain system, oxytocin and the therapeutic power of love, as well as the neuropsychological roots of shame.

Additionally, the Guide examines trauma through the lens of communities, with chapters on treating intergenerational and transgenerational trauma and building community resilience to end interpersonal violence. It advocates a new way of thinking about trauma - the transformative practice of trauma, based on the principle of working with the whole person and as part of a network of relationships, rather than focusing on symptoms for the improvement of practice, therapy, and healing.
