Grounded in theory and research on complex childhood trauma, this book provides an accessible, flexible, and comprehensive framework for intervention with children and adolescents and their caregivers. It is packed with practical clinical tools that are applicable in a range of settings, from outpatient treatment centers to residential programs. Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all treatment model, the authors show how to plan and organize individualized interventions that promote resilience, strengthen child–caregiver relationships, and restore developmental competencies derailed by chronic, multiple stressors. More than 45 reproducible handouts, worksheets, and forms are featured; the large-size format facilitates photocopying.

I wish I had bought this book sooner. As a therapist in a community mental health agency I work with complexly traumatized children, including those in foster care. I've been looking for resources that have explicit information on helping children with self-regulation and this book is a treasure.
This is a treatment manual for ARC: Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency. While it has components/ building blocks, the authors encourage you to view it as a framework rather than a rigid structure, so that it allows for clinical creativity. The building blocks addressed are as follows: Caregiver management of affect, Attunement, Consistent caregiver response, Building routines and rituals, Affect Identification, Modulation, Affect expression, Strengthening executive functions (impulse control and problem solving), and Self development and identity. There is also a section on trauma experience integration which reviews various ways to develop a trauma narrative.
Each chapter reviews one of the building blocks. Key concepts are provided for the clinician to review with the caregiver, so that the caregiver is involved in treatment each step of the way. There are steps for the therapist to follow along with suggestions for creative, play or art-based activities to help accomplish each goal. Developmental considerations are addressed with adaptations of interventions based on the child's developmental stage/ age. Cultural issues are also addressed, and the authors review how to work with the components in a variety of settings including group therapy, individual/ dyadic (with the caregiver), and milieu (residential) settings. A helpful "Real-World Therapy" section of each chapter addresses practical considerations.
