Discovering What Matters Most Through Evidence-Based, Sensory Interventions

Praise for Working With Grieving and Traumatized Children and
Adolescents

"This much-needed book effectively argues for the use of
structured activities as the basis for exploring trauma-specific
questions in clinical work with traumatized children and
adolescents. Numerous examples of children's artwork enhance the
book and illustrate the effectiveness of the treatment. The
authors' methods have been used successfully for many years and
represent a major contribution to the study of trauma that will be
welcomed by both students and seasoned practitioners."

—Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, LICSW, RPT-S Professor of Social
Work Emerita, Fordham University, Author: Play Therapy With
Children in Crisis

"The authors provide a clear theoretical framework and
demonstrate practical sensory-based activities so kids can discover
and reconnect with their bodies' agency and vitality. Refreshingly,
this vehicle creates an emotionally safe journey for the child into
the mystery of the experiential, embedded in implicit memory. It's
chock-full of invitations to explore self-impressions and
worldviews in a way that children feel seen, not assessed."

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes and Trauma-Proofing Your
Kids

A structured, sequential, and evidence-based approach for the
treatment of children and adolescents experiencing trauma or
grief

Working With Grieving and Traumatized Children and
Adolescents features the Structured Sensory Interventions for
Traumatized Children, Adolescents and Parents (SITCAP) intervention
model, proven in successfully addressing violent situations such as
murder, domestic violence, and physical abuse, as well as
non-violent grief- and trauma-inducing situations including
divorce, critical injuries, car fatalities, terminal illness, and
environmental disasters.

Filled with practical and proven activities for use with
children and adolescents experiencing trauma and grief, this
resource is based on the authors' experience working with all types
of traumatic events in school-, agency-, and community-based
programs across the country.
