Looking at Trauma

Looking at Trauma by Lesley Hughes

“In Looking at Trauma, the authors share invaluable experiential knowledge gained through their work with trauma survivors, while also synthesizing denser preceding works on trauma therapy and recoveryThe result is a manageable and informative tool kit for service providers and educators.”

—Julie Blair,MSW, RSW

“What distinguishes Looking at Trauma from other books are the wonderful comics that present psychoeducational information about trauma in an easily accessible way. The images can help clients understand their responses to overwhelming events, empowering them to continue the self-reflection necessary for healing. In this way, the pictures and words serve as co-therapists, making the clinician’s job a little bit lighter!”

—Lisa Plotkin,LCSW
