Abstract

Description

The TAP model manual is the result of extensive discussions, planning and work discussions among clinicians, researchers, and administrators in the Trauma Counseling Program at the Chadwick Center. As the manual for the model was developed, several predictable debates occurred. One of these was over the relative significance of research and clinical efforts in the development of the manual. An additional debate occurred regarding the utilization of only evidencebased treatments compared with a process that allowed for more choices among therapeutic interventions. As these dialogues were resolved, the TAP model evolved,nto one in which the clinician is able to select from among evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions and as well as promising practices.
