New edition of the Narrative Exposure Therapy manual, an effective, short-term, culturally universal intervention for trauma victims - including the latest insights and new treatments for dissociation and social pain. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a successful and culturally universal intervention for the treatment of survivors of multiple and severe traumatic events, such as organized violence, torture, war, rape, and childhood abuse. Field tests in contexts of ongoing adversity and disaster areas, as well as controlled trials in various countries, have shown that three to six sessions can be sufficient to provide considerable relief. The new edition of the clearly structured and easy-to-follow NET manual now includes the latest insights and new treatments for dissociation and social pain. The first part of the book describes the theoretical background. The second part shows how to use the NET approach step by step, with practical advice and tools, including how to deal with special issues (such as dealing with challenging moments, defense mechanisms for the therapist, and ethical issues). Appendices include an informed consent form, checklists for the therapist, and FAQs.

The Narrative Journey: An Illustrated Guide to Narrative Therapy Principles uses a journey metaphor to take the reader through the experience of narrative therapy. This guidebook was conceived when John Stilllman was invited to train social workers who were practicing within a community working and living on a garbage dump in Kien Giang, Vietnam. It makes narrative principles accessible to people through illustration and story. Each of the principles is woven into the metaphor of a journey and is beautifully illustrated with an image that gives the reader an experiential relationship with narrative principles. Since training in Vietnam, Mr. Stillman has used this guidebook in narrative training sessions in the United States, Korea, Greece, Turkey, and France with wonderful results and feedback. Narrative principles respect that people can determine what they want in life and keep their positions at the center of interactions. Narrative therapy also allows individuals and communities to explore what is important in their daily lives and relationships. The narrative principles laid out in this guidebook offer entry points to multiple conversations, helping people make decisions that fit with their values, hopes, and dreams.This guidebook is intended for therapists with varying levels of experience with narrative principles and can be used when working with individuals, couples, families, and communities. Because the journey metaphor and the illustrations are universal, the guidebook will also be helpful in settings outside of therapy including pastoral care, medicine, human resources, and organizational development. Narrative principles can be used in these settings to develop rich conversations about people's values. These discussions focus on actions that help people address problems and support what is important to them.In addition, this guidebook, with the principles' focus on identifying values, hopes, and dreams can be read to children or by adults as a way of creating new possibilities when interacting with the world. It can also be used as a primer for Mr. Stillman's book, Narrative Therapy Trauma Manual: A Principle-Based Approach (2010) which describes the principles of narrative therapy in detail, or as a precursor to reading Mr. Stillman's upcoming book, Narrative Therapy Handbook: Moving Narrative Principles into Practice (in press).

Trauma Narrative Treatment is a brief treatment model for groups, designed to be used in conjunction with the story, Gold Stone, also written by David and Donna Lane, available on Amazon (http: //www.amazon.com/Gold-Stone-David-Lane/dp/0984374787/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1440720805&sr=1-8) and from Regeneration Writers Press. In response to the need for brief trauma treatment following the devastating Haitian earthquake, Lane and Lane developed a narrative treatment model using a wide range of elements from narrative and trauma research to create a program that addresses the variety of issues resulting from trauma, including the immediate shock, grief and loss, loss of a sense of self, fragmentation of memory, feelings of guilt and self-blame, rage and powerlessness, religious/spiritual responses, and the construction of a new narrative for the victim's life. The model centers on the story, Gold Stone, written by the Lanes, which can be easily shared with individuals who experience trauma. Following along with the main character of the story, participants share their trauma experiences, and begin the process of finding meaning in their experiences, reconnecting with their sense of self to reestablish wholeness. The model is structured into six sessions, to be used with groups, and is designed to be easily implemented by non-therapist trained volunteers and lay people, allowing intervention to take place immediately with a goal of preventing the development of long term trauma-related pathology. Since Haiti, the materials have been used with community workers in Newtown, CT, following the Sandy Hook School shooting, and in the Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and the Middle East.

Grief and Trauma in Children provides easy-to-implement, ready-to-use therapy materials to help busy practitioners use grief and trauma interventions in real-world settings. All interventions in the book have been developed and researched with clinicians who faced challenging environments, including devastating natural disasters, and in communities where ongoing violence victimized children directly. Even in these stressful environments, clinicians found the interventions easy to implement, effective in helping children acquire coping skills, and effective in decreasing traumatic symptoms in order to proceed with grieving without impaired functioning. Grief and Trauma in Children blends cognitive-behavioral therapy methods and narrative practices to present an integrated grief and trauma model that can be delivered individually, to a group of children, or to a family. The book uses the Draw, Discuss, Write, Witness (DDWW) method to help children explore narratives of resilience and build coping capacity, engage in restorative stories about what happened, and reconnect and reengage in meaningful ways that allow the child to enjoy life again and get back on-track developmentally. Grief and Trauma in Children also provides up-to-date research on childhood bereavement and trauma, a brief description of the theoretical framework of the Grief and Trauma Intervention (GTI) model, a description of session-by-session goals and activities, case examples with ways to address common challenges, and photocopiable tools for clinicians to easily implement the model, such as session agendas, fidelity checklists, handouts for parents, and activity sheets for children.

Narrative Therapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of this post-structural approach. First developed by David Epston and Michael White, this therapeutic theory is founded on the idea that people have many interacting narratives that go into making up their sense of who they are, and that the issues they bring to therapy are not restricted to (or located) within the clients themselves, but rather are influenced and shaped by cultural discourses about identity and power. Narrative therapy centers around a rich engagement in re-storying a client's narrative by re-considering, re-appreciating, and re-authoring the client's preferred lives and relationships. In this book, Stephen Madigan presents and explores this versatile and useful approach, its theory, history, therapy process, primary change mechanisms, the empirical basis for its effectiveness, and recent developments that have refined the theory and expanded how it may be practiced. This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how a narrative therapy approach has evolved and how it might be used in their practice.
