Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A solid basic reference.
This is a solid basic reference on the subject. Maybe I underestimated what I already knew about trauma therapy, but I was hoping for a bit more. I would recommend this book to anyone just starting out in learning about trauma therapy. It's sophisticated; don't get me wrong! And this guy is the Master. I was just looking to go deeper into the subtleties of working with people dealing with trauma issues. And more on childhood sexual abuse would have been welcome.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent book, essential for any trauma therapist's library
One of the best books out there on Trauma. Written more for professionals, it is worth a read for anyone else truly interested in learning about trauma and treatment. It's not a self-help book, but could be a valuable resource for someone seeking treatment or seeking to understand a loved one suffering from the impact of trauma.

For professionals, this book is essential if you work with clients/patients with significant trauma issues.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I havn't read the book, but...
...I have listened to John Briere's CDs and attended a two day workshop. As far as I can tell, he is the number one for trauma. His model has basically defined the model I use for talking treatment for trauma. To me he has been much more helpful than, for example, Edna Foa, Ellert Nijenhuis, Christine Courtois or Colin Ross.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A good review of the latest methods
If you need a way to update yourself on the latest methods for treatment of trauma victims, this is the book for you. It covers trauma from many areas including everything from car accidents to war zone trauma.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Principles of Trauma Therapy: Review
Briere has done a very good job of summarizing research and practice regarding the treatment of trauma. His clinical suggestions are clear, specific, and useful for the clinician.
The major concern I had about the book was that his theoretical underpinning is behavioral, and to a lesser extent cognitive-behavioral. As a result, he ends up at times explaining highly complex phenomena in simple, stimulus-response terms. For example, his conceptualization of the intense emotions experienced ...
