Through didactic presentation of basic concepts, concrete description of techniques, and numerous illustrative clinical examples, the book guides readers to become proficient clinicians in Experiential Therapy. The book emphasizes knowledge and skills for supporting diverse clients across a variety of identities to successfully engage in these non-traditional clinical modalities to increase well-being and resilience and promote recovery and growth after trauma.
