Reviews

The effects of trauma are surprisingly complex and often counterintuitive. This is particularly true with the most extreme results of trauma--complex traumatic stress disorder. Until very recently there has been little literature on this subject, particularly from a Christian perspective. Thus, Heather Davediuk Gingrich has provided a most valuable resource in Restoring the Shattered Self. This is an excellent, sensitive work guiding clinicians and pastors in caring for those suffering from complex trauma. Whether or not one agrees with all of her therapeutic techniques (which is not to be expected with this complex issue), this book fills a glaring gap in the literature and will be a welcome resource to clinicians, pastors and mentors. Few authors are able to give such a readable overview of such a complex subject. I am grateful for this new resource to help the body of Christ care for the deeply wounded in its midst. --Steven Tracy, professor of theology and ethics at Phoenix Seminary and author of Mending the Soul Understanding complex trauma with its significant and life-controlling symptoms is critical for any trauma therapist. Dr. Gingrich teaches us about these difficult issues clearly and carefully. She also captures for Christian counselors both the long-term and often difficult therapy that is required, as well as the redemptive power of Jesus Christ to utterly transform shattered lives. --Diane Langberg, clinical faculty, Biblical Seminary, and chair of the executive board of the American Association of Christian Counselors In Restoring the Shattered Self, Heather Gingrich describes the treatment of complex posttraumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder in a clear, readable manner. Balanced and thoughtful, Gingrich combines the principles of secular therapy with guidelines for Christian counselors and therapists. Restoring the Shattered Self is a valuable addition to the field. --Colin Ross, founder and president of the Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma Gingrich ably integrates the established research on trauma therapy with keen insights from her own experience and an intimate understanding of the special concerns related to Christian counseling--including a discussion of prayer and spiritual warfare. --Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology, 69(1)
