This product includes Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory,
edited by Stephen W. Porges and Deb Dana, and The Polyvagal Theory in
Therapy by Deb Dana.
In Clinical Application of the Polyvagal Theory, innovative clinicians
share their experiences integrating Polyvagal Theory into their
treatment models. Chapters on a range of topics from compassionate
medical care to optimized therapeutic relationships to clinician's
experiences as parents extract from the theory the powerful influence
and importance of cases and feelings of safety in the clinical setting.
Through the insights of innovative and benevolent clinicians, whose
treatment models are Polyvagal informed, this book provides an
accessible way for clinicians to embrace this groundbreaking theory in
their own work.
Polyvagal Theory in Therapy offers therapists an integrated approach
to adding a polyvagal foundation to their work with clients. With clear
explanations of the organizing principles of Polyvagal Theory, this
complex theory is translated into clinician and client-friendly
language. Using a unique autonomic mapping process along with worksheets
designed to effectively track autonomic response patterns, this book
presents practical ways to work with clients' experiences of connection.
Through exercises that have been specifically created to engage the
regulating capacities of the ventral vagal system, therapists are given
tools to help clients reshape their autonomic nervous systems. The book
is essential reading for therapists who work with trauma and those who
seek an easy and accessible way of understanding the significance that
Polyvagal Theory has to clinical work.
The books are packaged as a shrink-wrapped set.
