Using trauma theory and S.A.G.E. in outpatient psychiatric practice.
In this paper the author reviews case examples of how a thorough understanding of trauma and recovery combined with a coherent, nonlinear, phased approach to treatment called S.A.G.E., helps to provide a conceptual framework that is easily understood by clients and their families and allows the clinician to organize and measure treatment success, regardless of the complexity of the cases involved.
