Guidance for personalizing and implementing effective treatment approaches with materials to use in session
Damion J. Grasso, PhD., is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, USA. He has worked extensively in the area of early trauma exposure and child development, with research focusing on the assessment and treatment of trauma-related problems in children and adolescents.
Damion Grasso has developed a resource which will be helpful for
developing and experienced clinicians. This is a highly flexible
resource which provides a range of tools for working with
traumatized children, adolescents and their families, and which can
be drawn upon and incorporated into the intervention that the
clinician is using. I liked the breadth of this work, with ideas
for all stages of the therapeutic journey with the children and
their carers. This resource is visual, creative and attractively
set out. A good book to have on the shelf when fresh ideas are
needed.
*Kim S. Golding, Clinical Psychologist, UK*
Dr. Damion Grasso has created an extraordinarily valuable resource
for all therapists working with children, adolescents and families
in the aftermath of traumatic experiences. The clinical ideas,
therapeutic exercises and helpful forms provided in this text
reflect Dr. Grasso's exceptional creativity, clinical sensitivity
and dedication to supporting the effective implementation of
evidence-based treatments with this vulnerable population of
children.

This book provides outstanding practical guidance and exercises to
augment clinical work using evidence-based models of therapy for
traumatized children and adolescents. It is vital addition to the
libraries of practicing clinicians, and the book will be of great
benefit to trainees. I recommend it highly.

the Child and Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) Program, and
Director of the Child Welfare Unit, Zigler Center for Child
Development and Social Policy, Yale University, USA*
This Workbook is a unique and invaluable resource for clinicians
and clinical trainees who treat traumatized children. It will be
required reading for every therapist and trainee whom I supervise
in the UConn Child Trauma Clinic, and should be required reading in
every children's mental health clinic and every graduate training
program preparing mental health, social work, and counseling
professionals to work therapeutically with children and teens.
