Microaggressions and Traumatic Stress
Theory, Research, and Clinical Treatment
Kevin L. Nadal
Challenging current definitions of trauma, Kevin L. Nadal distills the latest research on the effects of
microaggressions, looking at how regular exposure to subtle discrimination can, over time, elicit similar
symptoms to severe trauma.
Previous research on trauma has suggested that it results from experiencing or witnessing actual or
threatened death or serious injury, but this view has been expanding in recent years. New research has
focused on the relationship between persistent, often casual, social discrimination and trauma. These
stressors can act as trigger mechanisms that impact the ability to cope with life stressors, affecting selfesteem and relationships. This brief but comprehensive volume includes illustrative case studies that
will help practitioners understand and treat clients with trauma resulting from persistent but otherwise
subtle and difficult-to-identify microaggressions.

Using Technology in Mental Health Practice
Edited by Jeffrey J. Magnavita
This comprehensive guide describes evolving technologies in the field of mental and behavioral health.
Contributors demonstrate how technology fosters better access to care through video teleconferencing
systems, mental health-related apps, and other tools. Technological advances can also lead to improved
treatments, through virtual reality, neurofeedback, and other device-based protocols that complement
pharmacological treatments and psychotherapy. Authors also illustrate the many ways technology
can be used to further professional development, whether by improving the quality of one's work, or
transforming research and clinical insights into innovative business practices. This book will help clinical
and counseling professionals determine which technological advances best align with their goals, and
strategically consider how they will purchase new tools and train users, while ensuring that clients'
personal health information is protected.

A Telepsychology Casebook

Using Technology Ethically and Effectively in Your Professional Practice
Edited by Linda F. Campbell, Fred Millán, and Jana N. Martin
This casebook provides practical recommendations on a range of issues associated with electronicbased mental health care. From technologies as simple as the telephone to more advanced webcams
and mobile device applications, psychologists are increasingly using technology in their work-a
practice known as telepsychology. The book's recommendations draw from the Guidelines for the
Practice of Telepsychology, which were created jointly by the American Psychological Association, the
Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards, and the American Insurance Trust. Each chapter
presents a guideline, explains how it relates to professional ethics and standards of care, and applies it
to case examples.
