Trauma and disaster throw lives into chaos and fill people with the
fear of loss, injury, and death. Although most individuals
experience only transitory posttraumatic symptoms, others
experience the effects of the disaster long after the traumatic
event when new experiences remind them of the past. Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder: Acute and Long-Term Responses to Trauma and
Disaster provides clinicians, researchers, and policy makers with
an examination of current advances in research and treatment by
recognized experts at the cutting edge of innovation. This timely
book incorporates DSM-IV criteria and the new diagnostic category
acute stress disorder, which emphasizes the breadth of
posttraumatic stress symptoms and disorders and the importance of
distinguishing between acute and long-term responses to traumatic
events. Individual chapters go beyond PTSD to examine other
posttraumatic disorders and responses, the mechanisms of
transmission of posttraumatic stress, and its effects on behavior
and health in natural and societal disasters and traumas, including
war. This volume pays particular attention to the array of
psychiatric responses to trauma, including PTSD and the unfolding
of illness and recovery over time. Posttraumatic responses are
considered across individual, group, family, and community
perspectives and from the vantage point of developmental systems
from childhood to older adult life.
