Judith A. Cohen - Böcker

Traumafokuserad kbt (tf-kbt) är den behandling som har starkast forskningsstöd vid ptsd hos barn och unga, från 3 till 18 år. Behandling av trauma och traumatisk sorg hos barn och ungdomar beskriver metoden och ger terapeuter de verktyg som behövs för att bedöma och behandla ptsd, andra traumarelaterade symtom och traumatisk sorg.

Att involvera barnets omsorgspersoner är centralt i behandlingen. Metoden ger goda resultat även för barn som vuxit upp i familjehem, på institution eller i krigsdrabbade länder. Författarna beskriver också anpassningar vid komplex ptsd och behandling i grupp.

Denna andra utgåva speglar de senaste framstegen inom forskningen om tf-kbt och den kliniska praktiken. Patientdialoger, fallexempel, konkret metodstöd med tips för att undvika fallgropar, nedladdningsbara informationsblad och ett appendix med resurser för behandlare gör boken extra kliniskt användbar.

Boken lämpar sig väl som kurslitteratur och som handbok för yrkesverksamma som möter traumatiserade barn och deras omsorgspersoner.

Innehållet är fackgranskat och anpassat till svenska förhållanden av Poa Samuelberg, leg. psykolog, leg. psykoterapeut, specialist i klinisk psykologi, utredare vid Barnafrid – nationellt kunskapscenter om våld mot barn, projektledare för regeringsuppdraget Trauma på kartan och certifierad utbildare i tf-kbt.

Sagt om boken:

”Boken är en skattkista fylld med kunskap om traumatisering respektive traumatisk sorg hos barn, sammanlänkad med klinisk expertis. Med varmt hjärta och barnasinne erbjuder författarna handfast, hoppfull vägledning så att terapeuter kan ta ut riktning och hålla fokus i en stundtals svårnavigerad terräng. Behandling av trauma och traumatisk sorg hos barn och ungdomar ger oss goda förutsättningar att påbörja en bergsbestigning i tf-kbt, tillsammans med modiga barn och deras omsorgspersoner. Det ökar möjligheterna för att barn och unga i Sverige ska kunna erbjudas likvärdig tillgång till bedömning och evidensbaserad behandling vid ptsd.”Ur bokens förord av Poa Samuelberg

Children who have been sexually abused not only often experience PTSD symptoms as a direct result of the trauma, but also develop unhealthy emotional responses and may engage in age-inappropriate sexual behaviors. In addition, parents also suffer from the trauma and thus are often in need of emotional support and guidance in responding to their children's needs. Based on over 25 years of research supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN), and other funding sources, Child Sexual Abuse describes a premier empirically supported treatment approach for children, adolescents, and non-offending parents/caregivers impacted by child sexual abuse. Developed to provide support and to alleviate symptoms and problem behaviors in children and adolescents, trauma-focused CBT for child sexual abuse incorporates treatment components that provide children and their caregivers with education and coping skills training, while simultaneously addressing the trauma. The book describes the nuts and bolts of treatment including trauma narration and processing that helps to alleviate children's distress and feelings of shame associated with the abuse. Parents are also taught effective behavior management skills, and treatment often culminates with a focus on parent-child communication and enhancing safety and future development. This highly effective treatment model can be adapted to be delivered in school-based, residential, home and/or group settings.

Featuring a wealth of clinical examples, this book facilitates implementation of Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) in a range of contexts. It demonstrates how assessment strategies and treatment components can be tailored to optimally serve clients' needs while maintaining overall fidelity to the TF-CBT model. Coverage includes ways to overcome barriers to implementation in residential settings, foster placements, and low-resource countries. Contributors also describe how to use play to creatively engage kids of different ages, and present TF-CBT applications for adolescents with complex trauma, children with developmental challenges, military families struggling with the stresses of deployment, and Latino and Native American children.
