I have been a therapist for over 10 years and I use most of the strategies that the book reviewed. As with most therapies I have missed some of the details. The book does a good job of giving concrete examples and allowing for some individualization for clients' needs. Not as rigid as my typical perception of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

This book was required reading for a postgraduate course for professionals in treating trauma. Excellent resource for the professional counselor - may even be applied to young adults, adults with delayed emotional developmental issues, or developmentally disabled adults. Highly recommended graduated-exposure and appropriate titration to the processing of trauma experiences using an evidence-based practice.
