Group Therapy for Complex Trauma : A Schema-Informed Approach

Group Therapy for Complex Trauma provides a roadmap for professionals trying to address the many issues that arise in group treatment. It’s an excellent training resource for mental health professionals working in institutions that provide higher levels of acute care, including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and/or intensive outpatient programs, as well as those running groups in traditional outpatient settings. Chapters pull the most recent theory and practice into one concise resource, addressing not only how to treat complex trauma but also why doing so matters. They also provide guidance for troubleshooting situations that often arise around when conducting groups with a population that is often highly dysregulated. The second section includes exercises, and handouts that can be reproduced and shared with participants, enabling them to follow along during the group session and to complete exercises and review material in their own time.
