The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children: Theory, Research, and Clinical Applications

By Ana M. Gómez

Ana Gómez’s EMDR-Sandtray-Based Therapy: Healing Complex Trauma and Dissociation Across the Lifespan introduces a multimodal approach to trauma healing that integrates principles from various methodologies. When combined, EMDR-sandtray-based therapy offers multiple roads into the traumatogenic memory networks that may not be accessible otherwise, enhancing the delicate work of healing the legacy of complex trauma. With a wealth of resources, case examples, hands-on strategies, and moment-to-moment decision-making markers, this book is a practical and comprehensive guide for EMDR and sandtray clinicians, experts and novices alike. Various delivery formats for this therapy are explored, including individual, group, family, and dyadic modalities, thus offering robust pathways for healing.
