Reviews and Endorsements

Another outstanding and comprehensive book by Debra Wesselmann! Clinicians so often struggle to treat developmental trauma in children. Fortunately, Wesselmann’s IATP-C model has redefined the way clinicians heal developmental trauma in children, and do so with greater ease. In this latest publication, Wesselmann offers invaluable insights, tools, and information to assist clinicians working in this complex arena. What a wonderful contribution to the field of counseling and psychology!

As clinical director at a faith-based children’s home, I rely on the IATP-C framework to assist children affected by attachment trauma. Over a third of our children face brain-based conditions, including effects of in utero substance exposure. I’m thrilled Wesselmann’s new book includes specialized methods for helping these children and provides invaluable guidance for explaining their conditions to parents—a resource we’ve been seeking to enhance our care.

Debra Wesselmann offers an invaluable resource to therapists working with families affected by attachment disruptions and childhood trauma. EMDR and Family Therapy is a comprehensive guide to effective, evidence-informed techniques with practical tools and real-life scenarios for incorporating Integrative Attachment Trauma Protocol into family therapy. More than a companion to Wesselmann’s previous work, this book provides innovative strategies to deepen and enhance therapeutic approaches, making it an essential read for professionals in the field.

Wesselmann’s latest edition weaves together family therapy and attachment theory with an understanding of trauma and dissociation in ways that magnify the potency of EMDR. The chapter about increasing the reflective function capacity of parents alone is a vital resource for any therapist. Although the book is brimming with practical tools including therapeutic stories, therapy scripts, and checklists, the model is never mechanical. The Integrative Attachment Trauma Protocol for Children is innovative, individualized, and comprehensive. I would recommend this book to anyone working with children and families.
