This book describes his 12-session treatment protocol with step-by-step instructions and worksheets that can be reproduced for therapy sessions. The most well-supported, evidence-based approach to treat PTSD in very young children, this book also contains material on how to assess PTSD in young children and vignettes from real cases.

In a concise 71 pages of text, Dr. Scheeringa comprehensively debunked every neuroscience claim in TBKTS. This analysis revealed that van der Kolk’s narrative, which has been the loadstar for the explosion of so-called trauma-informed social policies across the nation, is a fabricated reality based on fundamental misunderstandings and an ideological weaponization of trauma. |
