Publications
In addition to being a psychotherapist, I’m also a published author and scholar. My writing has appeared in publications such as Clinical Social Work Journal, Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, and Journal of Gerontological Social Work. I have presented at many conferences, including the International Psychohistorical Association Conference, the Symposium on the Advancement of Social Work with Groups, and the Association for the Study of Dreams Annual International Conference, on the topics of trauma, social work, and therapeutic dream work. Please explore books and articles I’ve written or contributed to and presentations I’ve given, as a psychotherapist and expert on trauma, for a deeper look into my expertise. Here is my most recent book:
Shared Mass Trauma in Social Work (1st Edition)
This edited volume looks at the phenomenon of shared trauma and how it affects social workers and their clients alike. Bringing together established voices from the field of social work, Shared Mass Trauma in Social Work presents ideas of how to provide resilient care and practice while social workers and their clients are both experiencing the same mass trauma. Social workers are often on the front line when community trauma occurs, and the boundary between their experiences and those of clients can become blurred. In this timely resource, Ann Goelitz and the contributors aim to share both their findings and evidence-based tools to help professionals look after themselves and their clients in times of turmoil.
