Industry Reviews
"Jesus was no stranger to trauma-from treating a woman who had just escaped stoning and another with an unhealed flow of blood to predicting trauma for the apostles and personally enduring the cross. Neither should we be, especially those of us in the helping professions. The themes of the Christian Scripture-pain, suffering, personal humiliation, resilience, hope, and meaning-are the themes dealt with by these esteemed authors. Heather and Fred Gingrich have assembled an all-star cast of Christian psychologists to inform about the up-to-the-minute science, healing, and faith of traumatology." -- Everett L. Worthington Jr., author of Forgiving and Reconciling
"In light of the prevalence, complexity, and destructive impact of trauma, Christian counselors and other caregivers need quality resources to guide them. Thus, I am very grateful for Treating Trauma in Christian Counseling. Heather and Fred Gingrich have strategized to cover a broad range of vital trauma care topics with precision and wisdom. I will highly recommend this to my students and to trauma care providers in our ministry." -- Steven Tracy, professor of theology and ethics, Phoenix Seminary, founder and president, Mending the Soul Ministries
"Treating Trauma in Christian Counseling, edited by Heather and Fred Gingrich, is a comprehensive and substantial contribution to Christian perspectives and approaches in the treatment of trauma. The various authors cover a wide range of topics, including foundational perspectives, interpersonal contexts, complex trauma and dissociation, and global contexts. I highly recommend this very helpful book as essential reading for those involved in treating trauma." -- Siang-Yang Tan, professor of psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary, author of Counseling and Psychotherapy
"Treating Trauma in Christian Counseling is a needed treatment, long overdue. Our present 'culture of trauma' craves identity without closure and protest without nurture. But Heather and Fred have skillfully pulled together an array of traumatic scenarios with an eye to integrating faith and trauma. This should be required reading for every missionary, pastor, counselor, and social worker who understands that 'we have this treasure in earthen vessels.' As a professor of the Bible and student of trauma, I look forward to even more integrative work among the disciplines in years to come." -- Andrew J. Schmutzer, Bible professor, Moody Bible Institute, author of Naming Our Abuse: God's Pathways to Healing for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse
