Beskrivning

This comprehensive reflective resource explores the values, principles and practical applications of trauma-informed and -infused health care. Trauma-Informed Health Care introduces the different types of trauma - including medical and health trauma - and the impact of adversities, social inequalities and stressors. It explores their effects on health and the body, and on people's relationships with health providers. Key issues addressed include the importance of cultural humility, the effects of secondary and vicarious trauma, burnout and moral injury. It also covers the critical issue of organizational trauma: how to avoid practice which has potential to traumatize or retraumatize, and the role of cultural understanding, language, leadership, staff wellbeing and the physical environment.Drawing substantially on the experiences of people who use services and active practitioners, this book spans diverse settings -- from doctor's surgeries to hospitals and allied health services. It reveals how "every interaction can be an intervention" and provides you with practical examples, graphics and reflective exercises to support you to bring about positive change.This book is perfect for anyone working in healthcare including midwives, nurses, doctors, dentists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers, sonographers, health care assistants, play specialists, speech and language therapists, phlebotomists, psychologists, dieticians, audiologists, podiatrists and more.

Recensioner i media

As someone with both chronic conditions and recurring cancer this book and approach is beyond essential. The lens, perspective, tips and insights are so accurate, powerful and important. The difference these could make to the whole person is more than I could put into words. Every professional should read this and use it as a guide and manifesto. Thank you to Dr Treisman for her work and for writing this unmissable book.
