It is impressive in both its presentation of therapeutic strategiesand its insights into the experiences of clients who are known to be very hard to treat.This book integrates attachment theory and recent advances in thetreatment of intra-familial trauma, and it details new psychotherapeutic techniques towork successfully with clients for whom therapy can. Barbara said Five Stars. Excellent identification of frequent but incorrectly labeled client response with specific strategies for resolution.. Not only for health care professionals Stephane Mandelert Despite being a lay person, I found the book extremely good and clear. I highly recomend it for anybody who has knowledge about psychology, or had done therapy, and is interested on the subject.
“Trauma and the Avoidant Client is just right. It hits the ground running. While obviously strongly embedded in attachment theory and backed up with Professor Rob Muller’s research, it is not a tedious theoretical read, and is written by someone with a good deal of clinical skill and knowledge. The eight chapters are well-written, helpful and relevant and each finishes with a great summary of the main therapeutic points. A very good buy.” (New Zealand College of Clinical Psychology Journal)“This text is invaluable to a range of healthcare practitioners seeking to understand more deeply how people respond when faced with the challenging prospect of focusing on their vulnerabilities and I would consider this high-recommended reading for those training to become counsellors and psychotherapists.&rdq
