Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Interventions for Trauma and Attachment by Janina Fisher, Pat Ogden
rutt's review
3.0
a dense text with many potentially useful takeaways in each chapter if the therapist and client are able to do a separate analysis of how to apply interventions appropriately for each client's specific cultural, physical, and trauma-related needs. perhaps one could get more out of taking a course rather than reading this book?
critiques:
- the authors discuss variations in client backgrounds and cultures infrequently and without any detail.
- binary cis-normative examples and case studies
- there is no discussion of how to vary physical therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of disabled clients.
- reads as a highly directive and manualized approach despite authors saying it is not a manualized approach (again, i imagine discussion of the nuanced application of this approach might be better received in a training versus reading the book on one's own).
