Hansen, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Director of the Clinical Psychology Training Program and the Law-Psychology Program, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, USA ; As I have previous experience with this series of books, I knew that even though the book was short, it would be dense with information. It's best to approach this series as a reference and glean what you need. I did find that it was quite practical for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in any age group. I have recently started seeing a PTSD patient and have been at a loss. I am happy to announce that the skills I learned from reading this book have completely changed my last few sessions with my PTSD patient. Her mood and functioning have greatly improved and she is pursuing new life goals. I think that anyone who deals with children-teachers, coaches, doctors, nurses, etc. - should read this book."; Vivian Chow, MD, in Medical Psychotherapy Review, 2019; An excellent primer on childhood maltreatment for undergraduate and graduate students in courses in various helping profession fields such as social work, human services, public health, medicine, psychology as well as human development, public administration, and public policy.
