Reviews"Eve Carlson, already celebrated as coauthor of the Dissociative Experiences Scale, has now written an eminently accessible, cogent clinical guide to the assessment of trauma and posttraumatic states. Especially recommended for those new to the study and treatment of trauma, this book has much to offer the seasoned trauma specialist as well." --John Briere, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Southern California School of Medicine "This volume is a major contribution to the growing literature on the assessment of trauma and posttraumatic responses. Dr. Eve Carlson provides clinicians with an up-to-date and comprehensive resource on psychological trauma, its symptoms, and the various factors related to severity and outcome. Of particular value are the sensitivity with which Dr. Carlson approaches the topic and the clinical wisdom she imparts regarding the necessity and difficulty of assessing trauma responses. This book will benefit both clinicians and their clients." --Christine A. Courtois, PhD, Clinical Director, The CENTER: Posttraumatic Disorders Program, The Psychiatric Institute of Washington, Washington, DC, Author, Healing the Incest Wound: Adult Survivors in Therapy "Effective psychological intervention with children and adults who have experienced trauma involves far more than identification of a trauma history. Eve Carlson makes the very important contribution of reminding clinicians that there are complex pathways between potentially traumatic experiences and negative outcomes in individuals. This guide offers specific and clinically useful ways to assess trauma impact in everyday practice." --Lucy Berliner, MSW, Harborview Center for Sexual Assault and Traumatic Stress, "For all who have struggled to integrate the assessment of trauma into their clinical practice or their standard assessments, this book offers a helpful and readable guide to such an undertaking. Dr. Carlson offers a clearly articulated strategy for assessing a client's trauma history as well as his or her trauma-related symptoms. She also includes information on incorporating the results of the assessment into a treatment plan, and she profiles several assessment instruments that can be used with different populations or for specific purposes....It is a tribute to this book that it is able both to guide and challenge the reader, and I recommend it to those in the field." --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic

SynopsisProviding the information and guidance clinicians need to understand and assess psychological trauma and its effects, this book presents a step-by-step approach to conducting careful, appropriate, and accurate trauma assessments. From the initial screening, to the selection and administration of more in-depth measures for particular clients, to evaluating results and making a diagnosis, the author helps readers maximize their time and resources and brings much-needed clarity to what can be a confusing and difficult process. Instruments covered include self-report measures and structured interviews of trauma and trauma responses for adults and children. Detailed profiles of 36 measures recommended by the author--many not previously described in the clinical literature, and many available at low or no cost--identify each instrument's suggested uses, special features, format, and psychometric properties, as well as how it can be obtained.
