The only comprehensive text to focus on trauma, stress, crisis, and disaster counseling from a clinical practice perspective
This overarching text, intended both for mental health practitioners-in-training and for practicing clinicians, focuses on the impact of stress, crisis, trauma, and disaster on diverse populations across the lifespan as well as on effective treatment strategies. The second edition is newly grounded in a “trauma scaffold,” providing foundational information that therapists can build upon, step-by-step, to treat individuals affected by more complex trauma events. This resource newly addresses the mental health implications of COVID-19, which has had an enormous impact on multitudes of people since the beginning of the pandemic, its repercussions likely to continue for some time into the future. The text also is updated to provide the most recent diagnostic information regarding trauma in the DSM-5. Two new chapters address the confluence of crises related to anthropogenic climate change and the effects of mass violence.
This unrivalled resource emphasizes stress management and crisis intervention skills as important building blocks for working with more complex issues of trauma and disaster. It underscores the idea that trauma must be approached from multiple perspectives and in multiple dimensions encompassing individual, community, societal, and systemic implications along with multicultural and diversity frames of reference. The text integrates the latest findings from neuropsychology and psychopharmacology with an emphasis on Polyvagal Theory. Additionally, the text highlights the importance of clinical supervision in trauma care and examines ethical dimensions and the need for self-care among trauma counselors. Purchase includes digital access for use on most mobile devices or computers.

There is nothing like it on the market and it is a solid read for all levels. Dr. López Levers continues to add much-needed value to her field of expertise!

You need this book in your arsenal if you would like to learn more about trauma as a new or seasoned clinician.

The use of lucid language without too much clinical terms, is a great achievement of any writer of clinical subjects and in this book Dr. Levers has achieved it. Dr. Lisa Lopez Levers has brought her life experience of facing and treating the Trauma Victims both in the USA and South Africa together to give us a useful tool. Those who are in the profession of mental health counseling and treatment would benefit greatly from this resource book. Years of teaching at Duquesne University in the subjects of clinical psychology and nursing has made Dr. Levers an authority on this subject of trauma counseling.

Dr. Levers is to be commended for a much-needed and outstanding contribution to the trauma literature for those who provide trauma-competent therapy. This book expands, updates the literature, and improves the first edition significantly. It provides an outstanding introduction to the types of traumatic stress that therapists will encounter, including trauma in the context of relationships, in communities, and in natural disasters. The book further provides sections on assessment and best clinical practices, as well as professional issues such as vicarious trauma, ethics, and trauma-informed supervision.
This is an ambitious and successful project. Dr. Levers has curated respected and wise experts for each chapter, and the book flows seamlessly through the landscape of traumatic stress and how to respond with professional excellence. Highly recommended for therapists and educators who prepare future therapists in Professional Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, and related disciplines.

I am a Catholic priest and Jesuit who accompanies many Christians (as well as seekers and “nones”) in retreats, spiritual direction, and pastoral counseling. An increasing number have begun to entrust me with personal stories of violence-based traumatic injury. As a “layman” in this regard, I have come to rely on Lisa Lopez Levers accessibly written book as an authoritative reference in such areas as intimate partner violence, criminal victimization, and racial, ethnic and immigration intolerance . I recommend it wholeheartedly for Chaplains, seminary students of ministry or Clinical Pastoral Education, those who train them, or anyone currently working in spiritual and pastoral ministries who wishes to grow their trauma-informed toolbox for a troubled world.
