Victor Volkman has created a tool that takes the mystery out of one of
the more remarkably effective clinical procedures in a way that can help
millions of people revitalize and improve their lives. To those
desperate people who have experienced trauma or tragedy, this process is
a pathway to dealing with their feelings and getting on with their
lives.
In the new book Beyond Trauma, Conversations on Traumatic Incident
Reduction Volkman presents a series of conversations with a wide range
of people from many different backgrounds and experiences. Each provides
his or her perspective on Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR for
short. The book explains the techniques used by professionals and
patients to help people sort out, resolve and overcome the negative
effects of painful suffering. Untold countless people have to deal with
trauma in a wide variety of situations: Soldiers who experience war or
injury, families dealing with death, chemical or substance abuse,
parental neglect, child or sexual abuse, terrorism, crime and
punishment.
Beyond Trauma: Conversations on Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), is
unique in that it addresses both people suffering from the effects of
traumatic stress and the practitioners who help them. This method has
been effective in dealing with many areas of trauma, including
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), in such diverse groups as
veterans, children, 9/11 survivors, motor vehicle accident and sexual
abuse survivors. TIR is a brief, one-on-one, non-hypnotic,
person-centered, simple, and highly structured method for permanently
eliminating the negative effects of past traumas.
Contributors include world-renowned experts in traumatology including
Windy Dryden, Ph.D., Joyce Carbonell, Ph.D., and TIR's developer Frank
A. Gerbode, M.D. Beyond Trauma highlights stories of TIR helping
survivors to regain control of their lives. This book will be life
changing not only for survivors of traumatic incidents but also for the
professionals committed to helping them.
