Counseling Survivors of Violence

Synopsis: How do we work with clients who have experienced severe trauma such as war and rape or children who have lost their parents? Nancy Baron has worked with displaced persons in Cambodia, Uganda, and Sri Lanka. She presents her model of crisis management and training. Her ideas closely parallel those of microcounselling with an emphasis on listening skills, drawing out brief stories of the trauma, and problem-solving to handle immediate necessities. Her ideas are immediately applicable to counseling issues faced by those who experience hurricane, flood, or other life-changing situations.
