Traumatic Incident Reduction: Research & Results provides synopses of
several TIR research projects from 1994 to 2004. Each article, in the
researcher's own words, provides new insights into the effectiveness of
Traumatic Incident Reduction. The three doctoral dissertation level
studies that form the core of this book investigate the results of TIR
outcomes with crime victims, incarcerated females, and anxiety and panic
disorders respectively (Bisbey, Valentine, and Coughlin).
Both informal and formal reports of the "Active Ingredient" study by
Charles R. Figley and Joyce Carbonell of Florida State University show
how TIR stacks up against other brief treatments for traumatic stress,
including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) et al.
A further case study by Teresa Descilo, MSW informs of outcomes from an
ongoing project to provide help to at-risk middle-school students in an
inner-city setting.
An introduction by Robert H. Moore, Ph.D. provides background into how
TIR provides relief for symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) and firmly establishes the roots of TIR in the traditions of
desensitization, imaginal flooding, and Rogerian techniques.
This book contains the most detailed list of Traumatic Incident
Reduction and Metapsychology resources yet published. This appendix
includes references to dissertations, books, selected journal articles,
AMI/TIRA newsletter compendium, web resources, and the TIR and
Metapsychology lecture series (audio). Includes index.
