Forward-Facing(R) Trauma Therapy - Second Edition: Healing the Moral Wound (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781977243225)

"I highly recommend this book to psychotherapists working with PTSD and other trauma-related presenting problems. Dr. Gentry's book has the potential to substantially increase the effectiveness of psychotherapy for the traumatized with a one-two punch: (1) Direct exposure to the root of the traumatic memories paired with (2) resilience-building self-care practices that promote principle-based living. In contrast to therapist-centered treatments, Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy helps to resolve PTSD symptoms with a client-guided approach that focuses on current and future challenges while rapidly optimizing the client's quality of life." - Prof. Charles R. Figley, Ph.D., The Paul Henry Kurzweg, MD Distinguished Chair in Disaster Mental Health at Tulane University, pioneer of traumatic stress treatment and research

"As a leader in the field, J. Eric Gentry brings an invaluable new perspective on treating traumatic stress and compassion fatigue that is firmly grounded in the latest brain science. In Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy, he makes a compelling case that stress reduction and symptom alleviation are only the first steps in the healing process and that our ultimate goal must be to help our clients achieve a congruent life based on integrity and choice. Whether you're a counseling professional or simply looking to derive more meaning and satisfaction from your life, you will find much to value in Gentry's informative and thought-provoking book."- Robert Rhoton, Psy.D., LPC, D.A.A.E.T.S., CEO of the Arizona Trauma Institute, VP of the International Association of Trauma Professionals
