Post traumatic stress disorder develops after exposure to one or more terrifying events that have caused, or threatened to cause the sufferer grave physical harm. This book discusses how trauma-focused cognitive therapy can be used to help children and adolescents who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
Cognitive therapy is frequently used to treat adults who suffer from PTSD with proven results.

Based on research carried out by the authors, this book covers:

- formulation and treatment planning
- trauma focused cognitive therapy methods
- common hurdles.
The authors provide case studies and practical tips, as well as examples of self-report measures and handouts for young people and their parents which will help the practitioner to prepare for working with this difficult client group.
