Editors Serlin, Krippner, and Rockefeller, all practicing psychologists, here explain how a whole-person approach (WPA) can be used to guide the care of traumatized people, providing an important and excellent resource for all health care professionals--indeed, for anyone interested in communicating more effectively with others. Part 1 includes two foundational chapters explaining the WPA and making the case for methodological diversity in the study of trauma. Parts 2 and 3 are devoted to group therapy models and community-based applications, respectively. Each chapter describes suggested tools and successful interventions, adding supportive theoretical rationales, and individual chapters are devoted to reporting specific applications in a diverse range of cultural settings and situational environments. All contributions are written by experts in behavioral health with specialization in stress and trauma. Part 4 provides suggestions for extending the whole-person approach to address the needs of caregivers and recommendations for the future. Overall, this book describes the paradigm shift from illness and symptom management to an integrative model of practice that is growth-oriented and focused on enhancement of meaning for the traumatized individual or community, offering a fascinating blueprint for how best to assess and treat trauma today. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
