The second edition includes updated information on the neurobiological basis of trauma responses and evidence supporting creative therapeutic approaches. It also addresses topics such as mindfulness, resilience, post-traumatic growth, stress reduction, and dissociation. Therapies discussed include play therapy, art therapy, music therapy, movement therapy, drama therapy, bibliotherapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In addition, the book provides guidance on crisis intervention and prevention strategies, along with valuable resources for clinicians.
