Healing the Moral Wound
J. ERIC GENTRY, PhD
with Ilisa Keith Block
“I highly recommend this book to psychotherapists working with PTSD and
other trauma-related presenting problems. Dr. Gentry’s book has the potential to
substantially increase the effectiveness of psychotherapy for the traumatized with
a one-two punch: (1) Direct exposure to the root of the traumatic memories paired
with (2) resilience-building self-care practices that promote principle-based living.
In contrast to therapist-centered treatments, Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy
helps to resolve PTSD symptoms with a client-guided approach that focuses on
current and future challenges while rapidly optimizing the client’s quality of life.”
— Prof. Charles R. Figley, Ph.D., The Paul Henry Kurzweg, MD Distinguished
Chair in Disaster Mental Health at Tulane University, pioneer of traumatic
stress treatment and research
“As a leader in the field, J. Eric Gentry brings an invaluable new perspective
on treating traumatic stress and compassion fatigue that is firmly grounded in the
latest brain science. In Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy, he makes a compelling
case that stress reduction and symptom alleviation are only the first steps in the
healing process and that our ultimate goal must be to help our clients achieve a
congruent life based on integrity and choice. Whether you’re a counseling professional
or simply looking to derive more meaning and satisfaction from your life, you will
find much to value in Gentry’s informative and thought-provoking book.”

“FFTT is a gift. This powerful growth model outlines a sure pathway to healing
while engaging your moral compass. This book is a wonderful resource for trauma
professionals and survivors alike.”
