"The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children presents a comprehensive view of complex trauma and dissociation in children. In these pages, dozens of experts and pioneers thoroughly cover the complex nuance of theory, assessment, research, and clinical practice. Specific sections cover etiology, neurobiological underpinnings, and theories and conceptual models for working with the complexities of severe childhood trauma. Additional sections cover standardized and non-standardized assessment and diagnostic tools, as well as the formulation and organization of the clinical interview with children and caregivers. Other chapters provide systematic and comprehensive reviews of current treatment modalities and effective approaches for treating children with complex trauma and dissociation and how they can be implemented with children across different stages of their development. The book's co-editors bookend the volume with ample discussions of the ways in which generational wounds are acknowledged in the genesis of dissociation and other mental health issues deriving from chronic traumatization. This is a truly vital text for professionals as well as novice clinicians"--
