Events such as Hillsborough, Dunblane and Zeebruge have heightened public awareness of the impact of trauma. This book offers a comprehensive guide to all aspects of trauma counselling, covering: trauma assessment; trauma aftercare; trauma and the therapist; and a brief history of trauma. This practical guide to trauma counselling should be invaluable to counsellors, GPs, social workers, human resource managers, emergency response organizations and all those involved in treating trauma victims using counselling skills.
