Contents:
Knowing difference or we're all diverse here -- Living in multiple identities in the context of trauma -- Entering the healing process -- Diversifying the definition of trauma -- Trauma, age, and ageism -- Trauma, sex, and gender -- Trauma, culture, phenotype, and ethnicity -- Trauma and sexual orientation -- Living with disabilities in the context of trauma -- The great divide: trauma and social class -- Migration and dislocation -- Trauma and systems of meaning making -- Weaving the web of support: working with families and communities and caring for oneself.
Summary: "Few of the excellent models that have been developed for working with trauma survivors take into account the complexity of an individual's unique background and experience. Even treatment for members of "special groups" often ignores the individual's multilayered identities--which may include age, social class, ethnicity, religious faith, sexual orientation, and immigrant status--in favor of a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience and the latest research, Laura Brown shows therapists how to become more sensitive to individual identity when working with clients who have suffered trauma. The author explains how culturally sensitive therapists draw upon multiple strategies for treating patients and are aware of both dominant group privilege and their own identity and culture. Of particular interest is a chapter on the role of systems of faith and meaning making in trauma therapy. The book has a practical focus and contains a variety of case studies illustrating how theoretical constructs can inform assessment and treatment. Given the ubiquity of trauma in its various forms, all therapists, from trainees to seasoned professionals, will find this volume educational and thought provoking"--Jacket.
