 | Healing Trauma in Group Settings: The Art of Co-Leader Attunement Subjects: Behavioral Sciences; Health and Social Care; Mental Health; Social Work and Social Policy; Clinical Social Work; Trauma Studies; Mental Health/ Clinical Social Work; Psychoanalysis; Psychotherapy; Creative Arts & Expressive Therapies; Counseling; Psychological Disorders - Adult; Healing Trauma in Group Settings offers a unique focus on the highly valuable role of attuned co-leader relationships in the practice of healing trauma. Drawing on their extensive experience of co-leadership, the authors demonstrate how to maximize the potential for effective trauma work while remaining attuned to the needs of individual group members and the group as a whole. With case studies, transcripts, and vignettes interwoven throughout, chapters suggest ways in which clinicians can model co-leader relationships as a means for developing a sense of interpersonal safety, exploring difficult material, and building opportunities for healing to take place. Demonstrating how concepts of attunement can be utilized in real-world settings, Healing Trauma in Group Settings enables mental health professionals to forge connections with clients while drawing on the potential of co-leadership in group therapy.
