ABSTRACT
Angela Cavett briefly reviews the trauma assessment and treatment literature with focus on Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and then shares her extensive clinical experience and proposed modification of this model with an intervention program that honors the importance of relationship between therapist, parent, and child. With its additional grounding in and focus on attachment and the therapeutic relationship, this model brings a more holistic approach into the arena of child trauma treatment, and to the challenging realm of medical trauma, as she demonstrates through her work with a medically and psychologically challenged 7-year-old.
