These new editions reflect our current understanding of gender as it has shifted from the binary male-female model to a more inclusive and expanded model to include the experiences of transgender and nonbinary people. This new material has inclusive pronouns, as well as examples of traumatic events and focus questions specific to this group.
Exploring Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Men and Gender-Diverse People is a six-session brief intervention that was co-created by Dr. Stephanie Covington, Shane Pugh, and Roberto Rodriguez. It addresses the unique issues that men have with trauma, including the silence that surrounds abuse, the impact of male socialization on men's response to abuse, the risk of victims becoming abusers, and the need to understand fear and shame.
Healing Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Women and Gender-Diverse People by Stephanie Covington and Eileen Russo is an evidence-based, gender-responsive, six-session (90-minute sessions) curriculum for women, designed for settings in which a short-term intervention is needed.
