"Trauma Made Simple has heightened my ability to judge therapeutic timing...the extreme value of "the work before the work!!" Great clarification and practical thought about the sometimes nerve-wracking transition from DSM IV to the DSM, and about the role of the brain in trauma work. Thanks, Jamie, it really does "unscramble the eggs!""

“This is a must read for every mental health clinician. Dr. Marich compassionately demystifies trauma by gently reframing the treatment focus on client wounds, with an emphasis on holistic and natural healing processes from the initial assessment and diagnosis through termination. The book thoughtfully and meaningfully clarifies an often murky transition to the current DSM-5. She genuinely listens to others, as evidenced by the inclusion of numerous “In Their Own Words” disclosures. Dr. Marich demonstrates a passionate embrace for a client-centered approach and provides us with not just another clinical read, but a rather moving experience.”
