Social Work Trauma Interventions: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Kassie Baumann
Social Work Trauma Interventions: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Kassie Baumann
Senior Honors Theses
According to Lynne Weilart (2013), in her article on the reasons why people seek out therapy, trauma is the number one reason people attend counseling.

This paper presents a systematic review of trauma-treatment interventions, which have different theoretical perspectives on trauma etiology and its application.

Specifically, we question the scientific basis for the suggestion …

Narratives Of Illness, Difference, And Personhood, John P. Mctighe
School of Social Work Faculty Publications
Using narrative theory, the chapter examines how ideas and attitudes about mental disorder are shaped by cultural values and stereotypes, and how the experience of trauma can shatter the narrative of self and world.
