Editorial Reviews for Helping Abused and Traumatized Children: Integrating Directive and Nondirective Approaches
|
|
Presenting an integrative model for treating traumatized children, this book combines play, art, and other expressive therapies with ideas and strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral and family therapy. Eliana Gil demonstrates how to tailor treatment to the needs of each child by using both directive and nondirective approaches. Throughout, practical clinical examples illustrate ways to target trauma-related symptomatology while also helping children process painful feelings and memories that are difficult to verbalize. The book concludes with four in-depth cases that bring to life the unique situation of each child and family, the decision making process of the therapist, and the applications of developmentally informed, creative, and flexible interventions.

Summary: One of the best play child psychotherapy books ever
Comment: I concur with David Crenshaw! This book is one of the BEST books I have ever read in the child psychotherapy field. I make it required reading for my play therapy courses at JHU, where I teach.And the author is truly a gift to our field and to humanity. If you ever get the chance to meet her, you will see her humility and beauty coming shining through.

Summary: Extraordinary book by a Rare Clinician
Comment: Helping Abused and Traumatized Children: Integrating Directive and Nondirective Approaches I couldn't agree more with the review by Sarah Connell. Eliana Gil is a gift to the field and this book represents the distilled wisdom of an unusually talented and compassionate person who has devoted her entire career to helping abused and traumatized children. Her work has influenced, inspired, and informed my work and I will always be indebted to her. She doesn't speak in the typical mystifying jargon that dominates writing in our field but in plain, clear language and directly from the heart. This is a book that will be read and re-read by countless practitioners and students in the field because it simply doesn't get any better than this insightful and uncommonly helpful book. It is a must read for all who work with the more severely abused and traumatized children who suffer the impact of the worst of the ills of our society. Eliana offers that rare blend of insight and compassion that I regard as uncommon clinical wisdom.

Summary: Great book, amazing writer!
Comment: Eliana Gil is amazing, if you have ever talked with her in person you know what I mean. She is definately one of the foremost experts on treating abused and traumatized children, and has many creative ideas on techniques to use in child and family therapy, etc. (See her other books) In this book, she reviews how to integrate non-directive (i,e, Child centered) approaches with more directive approaches, which is very helpful if you are trying to work with kids in a tight time frame, traveling from school to school, or are just trying to get your head around a theoretical orientation for practice with children and families. I highly reccomend this and her other publications, as well as going to a presentation at one of her conferences.
