Students of Trauma A Handbook for Classroom Teaching in an Environment of Suffering

"After a lifetime of educating others, I've become convinced that teaching, at its core, is relational, and for students who have experienced trauma that truth becomes even more necessary. I strongly recommend this book to you because it makes that case in a powerful way, but more importantly, it does so by being very practical. Dr. Shepherd's book will be a valuable, real-world asset for teachers who want to help their students in greatest need. I really think this book has the potential to be a landmark work much like Alan Dewitt Button's pioneering and highly insightful 1969 book, The Authentic Child."-Robert A.
