Attuned Treatment of Developmental Trauma 1st Edition

Capture the attention of clinicians and caregivers with Attuned Treatment of Developmental Trauma, 1st Edition by Kathleen Adams — a clear, compassionate guide that reframes therapeutic work with complex developmental trauma.

This book explains how attunement—sensitive, moment-to-moment relational presence—becomes the core change agent for clients whose earliest attachments were disrupted. Rooted in current trauma-informed theory, the text blends attachment science, somatic awareness, and practical interventions to help therapists assess dysregulation, repair relational ruptures, and build safety in session. Rich clinical vignettes and step-by-step strategies make concepts immediately applicable across settings: private practice, community mental health, schools, and inpatient care.

Readers will discover how to craft individualized treatment plans that reduce retraumatization, improve affect regulation, and strengthen interpersonal functioning. Whether you are a psychologist, social worker, counselor, or trainee, this edition offers tools to deepen empathic engagement, track progress, and achieve measurable change.

Ideal for professionals and training programs in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and beyond, this authoritative volume is both a practical manual and a thoughtful primer on healing relational wounds. If you want to elevate your trauma work with evidence-informed, human-centered techniques, add Attuned Treatment of Developmental Trauma to your professional library today — an essential resource for anyone committed to transformative, attuned care.
