Full Description
Children and adults with complex trauma histories need to feel safe, be able to regulate emotions, develop relationships, and gain mastery over their environment and important occupations. Occupational therapy practitioners are valuable members of the complex trauma treatment team because of their expertise in the cognitive, social, emotional, and sensory components of occupation. This comprehensive text guides occupational therapy practitioners in applying trauma-responsive care with their clients across contexts with evidence-based models of assessment and intervention.
