Treating Adult Survivors of Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect: Component-Based Psychotherapy

Rooted in 40 years of clinical practice and research, this comprehensive yet flexible evidence-informed framework for treating adult survivors of complex trauma, particularly those with a history of chronic emotional abuse or neglect, is outlined in this book. Component-based psychotherapy (CBP) addresses four primary treatment components that can be tailored to each client's unique needs: relationship, regulation, dissociative parts, and narrative. Vivid extended case examples illustrate the CBP intervention strategies, providing insight into both the client's and therapist's internal experiences.

The appendix includes a reproducible multipage clinician self-assessment tool that can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. This complementary resource can aid practitioners in their work with complex trauma survivors.

Additionally, readers may be interested in "Treating Traumatic Stress in Children and Adolescents, Second Edition," by Margaret E. Blaustein and Kristine M. Kinniburgh, which presents a complementary approach also developed at The Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute.

Overall, this book offers a well-researched and flexible framework for mental health professionals working with adult survivors of complex trauma, empowering them to tailor the treatment to each individual's unique needs and experiences.
