“This text contains the most cutting-edge information on issues related to retraumatization. It examines issues specific to particular populations and provides recommendations for reducing the risk of retraumatization and targeting its associated consequences. It has the potential to stimulate research and inform the delivery of clinical services.” - Susan M. Orsillo, Suffolk University, Massachusetts, USA “This unique volume tackles the neglected areas of revictimization and retraumatization, areas that currently pose the greatest challenges to trauma theory and practice.” - Chris Brewin, University College, London, UK“The range of theoretical perspectives and the coverage of the scientific and clinical evidence concerning retraumatization in this book is unprecedented and will be an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, educators, and students for many years to come.” - Julian D.
