Deborah Vinall explains in a smooth, safe way what trauma can do to adolescents. Unafraid to face the truth, [Trauma Recovery Workbook for Teens] opens ways of integration for teens.

Her book is worth reading for any teenager to understand trauma reactions and to find out about possible ways of changing post traumatic states. It is also highly valuable for all adults who are interested in this topic!”
