Edited by Ana M. Gomez and Jillian Hosey

The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children: Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications, by Ana M. Gomez and Jillian Hosey (Eds.),is a comprehensive and vital text for both experienced professionals and novice clinicians alike. In these pages, dozens of experts and pioneers in the field of child complex trauma and dissociation contribute chapters that 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, the formulation and organization of the clinical interview with children and caregivers, 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.
