“Lane Pederson has created a compelling and highly practical approach to trauma treatment that bridges the gap between theory and real-world clinical care. This is a meaningful contribution to the evolving field of trauma recovery.”

—Frank Anderson, MD

“Complex PTSD can be a very challenging condition to treat. In Integrative DBT for Complex Trauma Recovery, expert DBT teacher Dr. Lane Pederson builds on his extensive clinical experience and deep understanding of psychological research to integrate a practical trauma treatment approach with the solid foundation of DBT.

Through the five modules of the Dialectical Trauma Recovery Model (DTRM), Dr. Pederson provides clinicians with clear explanations, memorable teaching strategies, practical tools, and vivid clinical vignettes that bring the concepts to life. With an emphasis on real-world application, this book helps clients find the dialectical balance of acceptance and change across the emotional, cognitive, physiological, relational, and developmental dimensions of trauma.

No matter what clinical population you serve, this book offers valuable insights and practical interventions that can enhance your work. I highly recommend it for therapists seeking an organized, skills-based approach to trauma recovery.”

—Richard Sears, PsyD, psychologist and author of ACT with Anxiety and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Mindfulness Toolbox

“Lane Pederson cuts through the noise in trauma treatment with a model that is both grounded and usable. Integrative DBT for Complex Trauma Recovery offers clinicians a clear way to understand what’s happening for clients and what to do about it. The strength of this work lies in its integration. Rather than adding another competing model, Pederson brings together key ideas in a way that prioritizes client outcomes, therapeutic flexibility, and real-world effectiveness. If you are looking for a trauma approach that makes sense in the room and helps people actually get better, this book delivers.”

—Barry L. Duncan, PsyD, CEO, Better Outcomes Now, and coauthor of The Heart and Soul of Change

“Pederson’s model is a practical, accessible extension of DBT skills into trauma work—well-organized, ready to use from the first session, and refreshingly clear about prioritizing stabilization over exposure. An essential resource for clinicians grounding their trauma practice in skills.” 

—Linda Curran, BCPC, LPC, CACD, CCDPD, author of 101 Trauma-Informed Interventions and Trauma Competency

“Few clinicians have done more to expand the practical application of DBT than Lane Pederson. As a practitioner, trainer, author, and innovator, he has consistently pushed the field forward while remaining grounded in what works for real clients. Integrative DBT for Complex Trauma Recovery may be his most significant contribution yet, offering clinicians a clear and actionable framework for treating complex trauma with precision, compassion, and effectiveness.”

—Mark Carlson, PsyD, LP, cofounder, Mental Health Systems, Inc., and author of CBT for Chronic Pain and Psychological Well-Being and CBT for Psychological Well-Being in Cancer
