This is an automatically translated description

This book presents an integrative approach to treating children who have suffered from violence, including sexualised violence. Eliana Jill uses both directive and non-directive approaches in her work and explains how to adapt treatment to the needs of each child by combining a well-chosen set of methods.

The author uses play, sand, and art therapy techniques in combination with ideas and strategies from cognitive behavioural and family therapy. The book describes ways to help traumatised children process painful feelings and memories and provides many case studies that clearly illustrate ways to address trauma-related symptoms. The second part of the book provides detailed descriptions of four cases, each of which reveals the unique situation of the child and his or her family, the therapist's decision-making process, and the use of creative and flexible interventions. The book will be useful for professionals working with children, as well as students studying mental health-related disciplines.
