This is the first book of its kind to advocate utilizing and combining an assortment of trauma treatment models.

Based on ideas put forward in the bestselling The Body Remembers, Babette Rothschild emphasizes the importance of tailoring every trauma therapy to the particular needs of each individual client. A breath of fresh air in the competitive 'mine is best' atmosphere currently so divisive in the field of trauma therapy, each varied and complex case (presented in a variety of writing styles: case reports, session-by-session narratives, single session transcripts) is approached with a combination of methods ranging from traditional psychodynamic and cognitive approaches and applications of attachment theory to innovative trauma methods including EMDR and Levine's SIBAM model.

Read on its own on or in conjunction with The Body Remembers, clinicians from all disciplines will discover new strategies and gain insight into how to combine various treatment models for increased success with traumatized clients.

The Body Remembers Casebook: Unifying Methods and Models in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD PDF

This book is refreshing, well written and easy to read - it is full of sound common sense (something often lacking these days!) It stands on its own or can be read as a useful adjunct to Babette's earlier excellent book on the psychophysiology of trauma. Babette's wisdom, style and honesty around the many different approaches and tools for working with trauma are covered extensively and most usefully as fascinating case studies. I especially appreciated the chapter on learning from our mistakes and failures and the surprising fact that clients respect honest ignorance and they often don't get enough of it in the therapeutic encounter. Adaptability is the key word here..that is adapting to the unique needs of each client.
Babette's view and one which I wholeheartedly share is that there is nothing we can categorically say works for sure in treating trauma and certainly no one treatment method that works for everybody. The main emphasis is on the necessity to create safety both inside and outside the treatment room. This opens up the field for lots of further debate. Fantastic stuff.

Babette Rothschild presents a refreshingly common-sensical concept- that you should not be wedded to any one theory of how to treat PTSD. She has developed many somatic-based techniques, but she also demonstrates effective use of Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, Peter Levine's use of felt-sense and many others. She shares partial transcripts of sessions. Rothschild suggests that you hypothesize what will be most healing to a patient and, if that does not work, try something else. I like her idea of transparency, to tell the patient that together you will keep working until you find the key approach to unlocking his frozen energy. Catherine Mendoza LPC
