''From the innovators of psychodramatic experiential treatment for trauma comes this exciting and exhilarating new book on the art, science and craft of experiential treatment for trauma survivors. The book is a delightful weaving of academic research, practical clinically-based and research-tested tools and techniques, and compelling stories of personal change and growth from practitioners at the front lines of trauma treatment around the world.'' - Dale Richard Buchanan, Ph.D., T.E.P., Director of Clinical Therapies (Retired), Saint Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington DC ''The standard prognosis for trauma survivors is grim, appearing recalcitrant to drug and traditional talk therapies. With this stark background and in light of the greater global awareness of the human and social costs of traumatic experiences - with causes as diverse as armed conflict, ethnic warfare, and extreme weather events - this book provides hope to the field of psychology, which longs for innovation. As the son of the founders of Psychodrama and a professor at University of Pennsylvania medical school, I find the Therapeutic Spiral Model well-grounded in psychological theory and the latest research in neurobiology, providing a bridge to the most effective psychodrama treatment for trauma.'' - Jonathan D.
