The Child Survivor: Healing Developmental Trauma and Dissociation provides a clinically rich, comprehensive overview of treating children and adolescents who have developed dissociative symptoms due to ongoing developmental trauma. Authored by Joyanna L. Silberg, a respected authority in the field, this book uses case examples to address challenging clinical dilemmas such as rage reactions, amnesia, and dissociative shut-down behaviors—often survival strategies employed by survivors. Practitioners will find practical management tools supported by recent advancements in neurobiology, equipping them with an arsenal of therapeutic techniques that can be applied immediately, reducing the necessity for restrictive hospitalizations or out-of-home placements for young clients.
