It is therefore inconspicuous that this little masterpiece from cross-school perspective and approach to the treatment of traumatized children, adolescents and adults: the somewhat technocratic title, the slim size and the complete ( certainly deliberate) lack of the sales-increasing keyword "trauma" on the cover page.
On almost 200 pages, the author presents his eclectic approach in the treatment of trauma-related disorders in an extremely well-founded manner, with the help of illustrative examples and on the basis of numerous cited ones Investigations, before - and completely free of creator airs and therapeutic self-staging, as one experiences in recent years now and then in publications of "trauma therapy" between the lines
His approach of "stress-based psychotherapy" is based on transdiagnostic, therapy school-wide disorder model, the three essential aspects of psychotraumatological relevance, namely the critical life events themselves, the symptoms as stress-compensatory scheme (survival strategies) and the releasing stimuli (triggers) in relation to and with one another, from which starting points for effective psychotherapeutic transformations result. Since there are different starting points, depending on the theoretical, therapeutic and methodological orientation of the practitioner, different points in the stressor network can be applied. According to the author, many of the trauma-focusing procedures and methods developed in recent years can be integrated into this healing model, as long as they are applied within the framework of stable, person-centered therapeutic relationship, on the basis of solid psychotherapeutic training and continuously updated specialist knowledge and in resource-oriented manner, whether from the basic approach in terms of behavior therapy, psychodynamics or play therapy. The model is based on the effect factor model of Klaus Grawe and the neurologically increasingly postulated paradigm of memory reconsolidation in the recent past, i.e. the assumption that emotionally stressful memories of biographical experiences can fundamentally and permanently be transformed into healing.

In his decades of experience in working with complex and monotraumatized children, the author, himself the founder and co-director of children's trauma institute, allows the reader to participate in vivid case studies and encourages his colleagues not to “hot rod” to put them on the back burner, but rather to process them in the early phases of therapy, each with the (efficient) intervention method of their choice and in coordination with the respective patient. However, he does not generally advocate quick, reductionist treatments, but emphasizes that the interventions are embedded in an - also temporally - individually designed therapy process. Heidi Zorzi
