Cory Helps Kids Cope with Sexual Abuse

This is a terrific, clinically focused book for therapists treating children who have been sexually abused and their families. Ms. Lowenstein describes a variety of creative interventions to implement the TF-CBT components. Clinicians will substantially benefit from having this book in their professional library. --Anthony P. Mannarino, Ph.D. TF-CBT Co-Developer

Ms. Lowenstein's wisdom with regard to the integration of trauma work, play therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy truly shines in Cory Helps Kids with Sexual Abuse. It is a must-have for clinicians doing trauma work with children! Her knowledge, compassion and skill are evident in the way she weaves psychoeducation, coping skills and exposure work in a creative and engaging way. For those clinicians doing TFCBT, it is a wonderful companion to the treatment model! --Amy Hoch, Psy.D. TF-CBT Certified Trainer

I have always been impressed with Liana Lowenstein's publications and the respectful, developmentally appropriate, and playful ways she addresses serious clinical issues. This book is another must-have for practitioners seeking innovative ways to help children heal from sexual abuse and complex trauma. --Sue Foley, MSW, MEd.
