Description

This book addresses the multifaceted nature of trauma by bringing together the many theoretical perspectives that explain how people cope with traumatic life experiences. Practitioners working across the people professions frequently find themselves working with service users, patients, and clients who are survivors of trauma.

Ranging between attachment, person-centred, and anti-oppressive approaches, Understanding Trauma and Resilience will help students and practitioners widen their approaches to such clients’ experiences.

Whether you are a student or practitioner of counselling, social work, or mental health, this book provides the foundations for understanding people's responses and resilience against traumatic life experiences.
