Reviews and Endorsements

I highly recommend this book to clinicians working with children and families affected by developmental trauma. Its practical application of the MBT-C model and its theoretical depth and commitment to inclusivity make it an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to enhance their clinical practice. Whether you are a seasoned clinician or new to the field, this book offers a wealth of insights and tools to support your work with traumatized children and their families. By engaging with the book's multidimensional approach—spanning assessment, treatment, and systemic interventions—readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of developmental trauma and the transformative potential of mentalization-based treatment. Above all, this book serves as a testament to the power of compassion and understanding in fostering healing and connection in the lives of children and their families.
