Working with traumatised clients can present challenges and complexities for therapists as they navigate what are often highly specific, deep-rooted issues. Trauma Therapy and Clinical Practice has been fully updated to reflect the changes that have impacted therapy research over the past decade and represents a major advancement in how trauma is perceived.

While staying true to her premise of trauma as an embodied experience and retaining the book's popular three-part structure, in this new edition trauma is repositioned as a social justice issue and reconsiders the emphasis on neuroscience, taking trauma theory further into a relational view.
This new edition:
¿ Thoroughly explores the role of fear, helplessness, dissociation and shame
¿ Offers valuable insights into restoring continuity of self and of time
¿ Contains updated, diverse references and intersectional analyses
¿ Uses refreshed pedagogy to help deepen learning
¿ Critically discusses concepts such as mindfulness in relation to trauma therapy.

Written in her trademark accessible and personal writing style, Miriam Taylor examines the application of both neuroscience and Gestalt theory in recovery, presenting a considered theoretical basis for working with highly traumatised people. The new edition of Trauma Therapy and Clinical Practice is at the cutting edge of contemporary trauma thinking and is essential reading for trainees and practitioners in counselling and therapy.

Miriam Taylor is a semi-retired Gestalt psychotherapist, supervisor and international trainer. With over 30 years' experience of working with trauma, her approach is embodied and relational in the widest possible sense. She is the author of Deepening Trauma Practice and is on the Leadership Team of Relational Change, UK.
