“Trauma-Focused ACT is going to go down as one of the great contributions to the field of trauma-informed care. Written in a highly accessible, practical style, Harris provides the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) therapist with a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to working with traumatized clients. The book is chock-full of tidbits of clinical advice that could only come from a highly skilled therapist with loads of experience working with trauma. If you read this book from cover to cover (and maybe read it again), you will have a complete sense of how to roll out, manage, and complete a high-potency treatment with a traumatized client. There aren’t many books out there that achieve this high ground, and this is one of them! Highly recommended.”
