This treatment manual presents a mind/body and brain informed approach to treating trauma. What I mean by that is that this is a holistic approach based on the belief that the mind and body are inseparable, and that this approach is informed by the new neuroscience made possible by the advent of the brain imaging technologies.
The standard evidence-based treatment approaches to trauma, such as CBT/Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy are highly effective and essential to the treatment of trauma.
That being said, if we do not have a more holistic approach that addresses the brain and body, we are missing other essential and highly effective pieces of the puzzle. And, the research is showing these approaches to be evidence-based.
The field of psychology can no longer ignore or even minimize the role of the brain and body in psychological healing and well-being and that is especially so when it comes to healing from trauma!
In this manual I mention research studies, but my focus is on the clinical application of the research. If you are interested in exploring the research in more detail, I have included a Reference List with books and references at the end of the manual. I do draw heavily on the work of Dan Siegel, MD, professor of psychiatry at UCLA, Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and author of numerous books, and the work of Bessel Van der Kolk, MD, Director of the Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute in Boston.
