About this book

Summary

Integrating Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies A Practical Guide to Multi-Modal Care for Complex Trauma and Long-Standing Personality Patterns Strengthen your clinical decision-making with a practical guide to coordinating multiple evidence-informed approaches for complex, high-need presentations. This book focuses on treatment planning, sequencing, and clinical judgment—showing how to combine schema-informed case formulation, trauma-processing methods, parts-oriented interventions, and somatic regulation skills into a coherent, ethical, and client-centered approach. This is an independent educational resource. It is not an official manual, training, or certification program for any specific trademarked method, and it does not replace formal training, supervision, or clinical governance. What you’ll learn Build integrated case formulations that connect attachment history, coping patterns, trauma responses, and current functioning Coordinate phased treatment (stabilization, processing, consolidation) for complex presentations Use schema-informed concepts to guide targets, pacing, and relapse prevention Apply parts-oriented strategies to reduce inner conflict, avoidance, and polarization Add somatic and nervous-system regulation skills to improve tolerance and reduce overwhelm during trauma-focused work Structure sessions with clear transitions, safety checks, and aftercare planning Recognize contraindications and apply risk management for dissociation, self-harm risk, and destabilization Key features Case examples illustrating integration choices, pacing, and common pitfalls Assessment and formulation templates for multi-modal planning Decision guides for sequencing interventions and troubleshooting stuck points Adaptation notes for diverse clients and contexts Safety-focused chapters on stabilization, capacity-building, and crisis planning Guidance on supervision, consultation, and staying within scope of practice Who it’s for Designed for licensed mental health professionals and trainees under supervision who want structured guidance for integrating trauma-focused work with cognitive, relational, somatic, and parts-oriented methods. It is suitable for individual clinicians and for teaching integration principles in professional training settings.
