Traumatic Experience and the Brain is the result of Dr. Dave Ziegler's three decades of experience with children traumatized by abuse and/or neglect. This book details the effect of such trauma on the developing brain, describing how it actually rewires one's perceptions of self, others, and the world. It is a book of hope for foster, natural, and adoptive parents of such "broken" children and the therapists, teachers and social workers who attempt to help them. Dave Ziegler, M.S., Ph.D., is the director of Scar/Jasper Mountain, a residential treatment program in Oregon for some of society's most damaged children.

Foreword Magazine Book of the Year finalist!Many individuals have had their hopes and dreams shattered by trauma. Healing is a huge and critical step to overcoming trauma, but the next step is just as important.

Dave Ziegler, the author of a series of highly-acclaimed books on raising traumatized children, looks at how to take the next step beyond healing, toward a satisfying and fully realized life. Drawing on case studies and a lifetime of personal and professional experience, Dr. Ziegler has written a clear, realistic guide to reclaiming one s life, regardless of age, class, or context. His insights are presented in a friendly, down-to-earth style that naturally resonates with all types of readers. Beyond Healing takes a close, critical look at many of our beliefs about human limitations and offers an undeniable message of hope hope for those individuals who have paid such a high price for past abuse and trauma, and hope for our future and the possibility of reaching both our individual and collective human potential. Beyond Healing is an invaluable guide to anyone who has personally experienced trauma or is attempting to help someone else who has.

Beyond Healing: The Path to Personal Contentment After Trauma

Over the last two decades research has shown that all effective psychological interventions must focus on the brain. This book provides a new model of treatment that integrates critically important components of brain functioning. This new integrated model is first brain focused (neurological) and stresses the healing (reparative) of adverse impacts that have prevented the brain from reaching its potential, and outlines a roadmap of an active process (therapy) in promoting healing, resiliency and overall well-being. The NRT model relies heavily on the research and professional literature of: brain development, trauma, attachment, and resiliency. It also stresses the importance of the relationship between the healer and client and encourages the healer to use a relationship approach in following a roadmap to an improved life. The NRT roadmap provides the best route to healthy brain development, attachment, and resiliency but relies on the helper to use his or her own skills, experience and techniques to take the journey. This approach was developed at Jasper Mountain, a program in the mountains of Oregon considered by many to be one of the most effective treatment centers for young children. The book closes with the Jasper Mountain story including how it started and evolved over the last 30 years to become what it is today. This book was written to answer the frequently asked question, What happens at Jasper Mountain that can be replicated elsewhere?
