Most books about doing psychotherapy are tied to particular psychotherapeutic practices. Here, seasoned clinical author Robin Shapiro teaches readers the ins and outs of a trauma- and attachment- informed approach that is not tied to any one model or method.

This book teaches assessment, treatment plans, enhancing the therapeutic relationship, and ethics and boundary issues, all within a general framework of attachment theory and trauma. Practical chapters talk about working with attachment problems, grief, depression, cultural differences, affect tolerance, anxiety, addiction, trauma, skill- building, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and the beginning and end of therapy. Filled with examples, suggestions for dialogue, and questions for a variety of therapeutic situation, Shapiro's conversational tone makes the book very relatable. Early- career therapists will refer to it for years to come, and veteran practitioners looking for a refresher (or introduction) to the latest in trauma and attachment work will find it especially useful.

Industry Reviews

A compendium from a highly skilled therapist and accessible author. Books are wrestled into creation, wrought out of lived-experience and wisdom. The word therapist is from the Greek, Te?a'p --Therapon. In peace-time the Therapon was a King's most-trusted advisor; in war, his personal guard who fought alongside him. This is a brilliant metaphor that fits Robin Shapiro perfectly. Doing Psychotherapy will equip and empower you; I will be adding it to my students' required reading.--Paul Miller, MD, DMH, MRCPsych, Visiting Professor, Faculty of Life and Health Sciences, School of Nursing at Magee Campus, EMDR Europe Accredited Trainer
