Summary

Brief Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder offers therapists and counsellors a concise, practical introduction to the Therapeutic Imagery Rescripting (TIR) approach for treating PTSD and related traumas. The book guides readers step-by-step from initial assessment through to the final counselling session, using numerous real-session examples. The TIR method is person-centred, structured, and designed to resolve symptoms within a brief course of therapy, typically about 20 hours. It values clients' experiences, integrates with other therapeutic methods, and minimises the risk of re-traumatisation, addressing not only severe PTSD but also a wide range of normal life traumas.

This title is ideal for therapists and counsellors in training and practice seeking an accessible, application-based guide to brief, effective treatments for PTSD and trauma.

Research has demonstrated that brief therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) tends to be more successful than long-term work. Traumatic Incident Reduction is a relatively new and exciting treatment technique that has proven in studies to be more effective than the widely used direct therapeutic exposure technique.

Description

Therapists and counsellors, in training and practice, will welcome this concise and practical introduction to the TIR approach for helping clients with PTSD and other human traumas. The book is application-based, providing a step-by-step guide from initial assessment to the last counselling session, illustrated with many examples from actual sessions.

TIR is a person-centred, structured approach which can:

Achieve symptom resolution in a brief course of counselling (often about 20 hours)
Respect and value the client's experience and needs
Work alongside a variety of therapy methods in a holistic way
Minimise the risk of re-traumatisation

The authors provide a review of the major theories of stress and trauma, and of other methods of working with clients that are most useful alongside the TIR approach, an approach that is useful for a wide range of 'normal life' traumas, not just PTSD.

Brief Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is an invaluable resource for any professional looking to enhance their practice with effective strategies for managing trauma.
