Trauma, by nature, characterizes itself as an extreme psychological wounding that produces a sense of fear, horror, or helplessness. Its presence is revealed in both the public and private arenas of life. Terrorism, murders, bombings, shootings, war, natural disasters, and other shocking events are publicly displayed on television, in newspapers, and other forms of media. Some trauma erupts behind closed doors and its insidious effects are evidenced in domestic violence or physical and sexual child abuse. The secrecy of such traumatic relationships can cause these crimes to remain undetected, unpunished, and untreated. Is trauma a widespread phenomenon or a rare occurrence in the general population? Studies indicate that between 70-90% of people will either witness, experience, or be exposed to a trauma sometime during their lifetime. The pervasiveness of trauma propels the diverse groups of health care professionals to keep abreast of the most current contributions to the field of traumatology. This reader-friendly book explores the nature of traumatic stress and provides assessment tools for the various trauma-related criteria. In addition, Dr. Schupp has extracted the most relevant trauma-related techniques from a diverse realm of theoretical orientations. This collection of physiological and psychological techniques provides professionals and lay counselors with a practical, eclectic approach to a variety of treatments. This book is a "must" for those whose time is limited, yet need the most current information on techniques for traumatic stress.

Every client brings with them a unique set of experiences that need to be understood before any assistance can be properly rendered. This book will draw you into these clients' lives, concerns and worlds, which will allow you to identify the critical client and therapy issues. You will find yourself conceptualizing your own treatment plans as you read, drawing from your own experiences and perspectives. Each case presented provides the opportunity for you to apply ethical codes to real-life situations as well as practice diagnosing clients. These case studies deal with current, true-to-life issues, such as an adolescent deciding whether to join a gang, or a woman experiencing menopause. The richness of these cases will hold your interest, and the clinical complexity will challenge you to apply your own knowledge.

Help your clients achieve exactly what they want when it comes to emotional eating … you can eat to cope you can learn to use food on occasion to feel better you can feel in control (and have a treat) you don’t have to feel bad or guilty about emotional eating you don’t need to completely eliminate emotional eating to be healthy In his new book, Mindful Emotional Eating, psychologist Pavel Somov has given a “cultural permission” to eat emotionally -- with mindfulness-based tools to do so in moderation and without self-judgment and self-loathing. Somov proposes that emotional eating is a legitimate form of self-care and teaches clients and clinicians how to “leverage more coping per calorie.” Numerous original exercises and meditative techniques will guide a more conscious alliance with food during moments of emotional distress.
