The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children is a comprehensive and truly vital text for both experienced professionals and novice clinicians alike.

In these pages, dozens of experts and pioneers thoroughly cover the complex nuances of theory, assessment, research, and clinical practice. Specific sections cover etiology, neurobiology, and various theoretical and conceptual models for working with the complexities of cumulative and chronic traumatization in childhood.

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 across different stages of early development.

The book’s co-editors bookend the volume with thorough explorations of the nuanced and multifaceted issues impacting children with complex trauma and dissociative symptoms and features.

With well-written contributions that span theory, diagnosis, treatment, and special issues, the handbook’s thought-provoking chapters are filled with clinical anecdotes and case histories that make the pages come alive.

The editors have assembled an impressive collection of top experts who approach difficult issues with clarity, sensitivity, and depth. Whether you are a researcher, theorist, or practicing therapist, this book is bound to spark new, creative ideas that will help enrich this growing field. This comprehensive compendium belongs on the shelf of every clinician who deals with childhood complex trauma and dissociation. It will enrich professionals’ thinking and expand awareness of multiple treatment options.”Joyanna Silberg, PhD, author of The Child Survivor: Healing Developmental Trauma and Dissociation, 2nd edition“This comprehensive handbook provides a nuanced exploration of the theories, research, and therapeutic approaches pertaining to complex trauma and dissociation in children. The depth and breadth of this book make it an invaluable resource for all clinicians and researchers dedicated to addressing developmental trauma.”Ruth A. Lanius, MD, PhD, coauthor of Healing the Traumatized Self: Consciousness, Neuroscience, Treatment, and co-editor of The Impact of Early Life Trauma on Health and Disease: The Hidden Epidemic “Trauma and dissociation are alarmingly common, affecting a vast number of children. Yet children experiencing complex trauma are often misdiagnosed, leading to years of ineffective treatment and continued suffering. Ana Gomez and Jillian Hosey have provided an exceptional review of theory, assessment, best treatment practices, and research, essential for all professionals working with children impacted by complex trauma. This handbook is an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers worldwide.”Marlene Steinberg, MD, author of The SCID-D Interview: Dissociation Assessment in Therapy, Forensics, and Research and The Stranger in the Mirror: Dissociation—The Hidden Epidemic
