Advances in Group Therapy Trauma Treatment contains compelling theoretical, clinical, and research advances in group trauma therapy by leading experts in the field. This timely book includes short-term integrated and long-term psychodynamic group therapy models from several theoretical perspectives, with informative clinical illustrations in each chapter describing how to foster co-regulation of affect, treat disturbances in attachment, and address dissociation, shame, primitive defenses, and enactments associated with PTSD, complex PTSD, and sexual abuse. Interventions to address the harm and loss of safety following mass trauma that are often mirrored in large and small psychotherapy groups are described. Unique to this volume is the role of diversity, the necessary adaptations of group therapy models to different cultures, and the relationship of trauma to structural and systemic racism, hate, and bigotry. Finally, leadership considerations such as training, ethical guidelines, supervision, pre-group preparation, and self-care for group therapists will be enumerated. Integrating well-established group theory and techniques with new practice and research findings, this book is indispensable to mental health professionals who treat traumatized individuals.
"This textbook is a timely, thoughtful, and comprehensive guide for group therapists committed to the treatment of individuals seeking care because of the trauma that emerges from the broad range of destructive and disintegrating experiences that surround us. Co-edited artfully by Drs. Leo Leiderman and Bonnie Buchele, the book responds to these clinical demands in a thorough, thoughtful, effective, and accessible fashion. In addition to a state-of-the-art review of theory, new neuroscience and neurobiology contributions, the book is replete with rich clinical illustrations that demonstrate how theory shapes practice and can be applied meaningfully and effectively."

"This is a must-read book! It masterfully weaves interventions for trauma-based overactivation and/or dissociative enactments in group using critical aspects of attachment theory, multi-cultural competence, and experience-near group leadership principles. The clinical examples bring to life multiple treatment approaches adapted to both short- and long-term group treatments."
Gary M Burlingame, PhD Professor of Psychology, Brigham Young University; Past President, American Group Psychotherapy Association
"This is a fascinating book providing a comprehensive update to treatment of trauma in group therapy summarizing the advances in the field in one source for practicing clinicians as well as academics. The editors have compiled chapters from leaders and innovators in the field with emphasis on culturally informed group therapy; artfully blending advances in biological imprint of trauma and the role of group therapy in healing it. This update is remarkable for the way in which subtle and complex concepts paired with clinical examples enhance learning, making the ideas accessible to everyone. In my opinion, this book is an essential read for all students and clinicians involved in the practice of group therapy."
