Eight mental health academics and practitioners from the US and UK contribute six chapters to the first in a series of edited volumes aimed at increasing the accessibility of new evidence-based interventions to busy mental health clinicians. Focusing on treatments for traumatized adults and children, the text emphasizes detailed, practitioner-oriented how-to guides for implementing particular interventions. Coverage includes an overview of evidence-based practice and empirically supported interventions for trauma, the prolonged exposure therapy component of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT) with adults, the cognitive restructuring component of TFCBT with adults, the provision of TFCBT with traumatized children and their caregivers, and the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with adults and with children.

Praise for Treatment of Traumatized Adults and Children
"A major stumbling block to adoption of evidence-based practice in the real world of clinical practice has been the absence of clinician-friendly guides. Such guides need to be understandable, free of technical research jargon, infused with clinical expertise, and rich with real-life examples. ?Rubin and Springer have hit a home run with this series, which has all of these characteristics and more."
—Edward J. Mullen Willma & Albert Musher Chair and Professor, Columbia University
"Rubin and Springer have assembled the wisdom of leading practitioners of evidence-based practice interventions, enhancing the likelihood that these practices will be adopted by helping professionals. ?Written in the language of practitioners, this book represents an exemplar for dissemination of evidence-based practice information."
—Joanne Yaffe Associate Professor, University of Utah College of Social Work
