The editors and contributors to the APA Handbook of Trauma Psychology thoroughly examine virtually every aspect of trauma...This detailed resource will be invaluable to practitioners and researchers it will also be of value to graduate students in psychology and counseling.(Choice) The two APA Handbooks of Trauma Psychology are well written, for a wide audience, from those with sophistication in research or clinical care to those who are beginning to learn about it or wish to reference a therapy that they are considering for treatment. They serve as a modern encyclopedia that will likely stand the test of a decade without a need for revision because they are focused on evidence based trends and techniques.(PsycCRITIQUES)
