Editorial Reviews

"An interesting compendium of potential interventions that can be interwoven into any therapist's existing conceptual framework." — Louis Cozolino, Ph.D. "author of 5 books including the best-seller "The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy, Healing the Social Brain" (2nd edition)"

"Drawing from the whole spectrum of trauma-based therapies, Linda Curran has compiled a sampling of practical exercises designed to help therapists and their clients better navigate the mine field that trauma work can be and find the path to healing." — Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. "author of "Internal Family Systems Therapy"

"Linda Curran has carefully and knowledgeably curated a practical, effective collection of interventions that actually work for trauma survivors. Any clinician committed to helping those suffering from posttraumatic stress needs to have these tools and resources to draw upon, because standard talk therapy...is simply not going to cut it." — Belleruth Naparstek, LISW "author of "Invisible Heroes: Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal"

"This workbook provides a plethora of effective tools — traditional as well as innovative — that can be used in whole or as a part of a course of therapy and also as self-help. The variety of options offered goes a long way towards dispelling the...misconception that there are only a limited number of interventions that help people...recover." — Babette Rothschild, MSW "author of "The Body Remembers" and "8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery"

"101 Trauma-Informed Interventions provides an accessible functional "playbook" for therapists committed to the rehabilitation of the client with a trauma history. In a readable volume Curran integrates diverse approaches of treatment and emphasizes the unique role that trauma plays in mental health." — Stephen W. Porges, Ph.D. "author of "The Polyvagal Theory"
