Trauma-informovaný přístup v sociální práci – Klepáčková Olga (2020)

Does trauma represent a unique event, or is it an almost universal experience that touches each of us directly or indirectly? What stories do those who need help carry with them? How can we better understand their outwardly problematic or self-destructive behavior? Why is it so difficult for many clients to perceive the world as a safe place even many years after a traumatic event? How can we effectively help clients and bring new hope into their lives? This book helps find answers to these and many other questions; it is the first Czech publication dedicated to the topic of trauma-informed approaches in social work. This approach emphasizes the strengths, resilience, and development of healthy skills of the client instead of focusing solely on pathology and merely addressing symptoms. The book presents a new perspective on clients and their needs, the author's role in the lives of these clients, the significance and potential benefits of mutual relationships, and also ways to better understand, support, and effectively assist clients affected by trauma within the provided services. It helps social and other professionals find their way as well...
