Despite the growing interest in the role of psychological trauma in
the genesis of psychiatric disorders, few volumes have addressed
these issues from a multidisciplinary and international
perspective. Given the complexity of reslience and posttraumatic
disorder, and given ongoing trauma and violence in many parts of
the world, it is crucial to apply such perspectives to review
existing knowledge in the field and provide directions for future
research. This book has a broad scope. A key focus is PTSD, because
of its clinical and health importance, its obvious link with
trauma, and its interest for many clinicians and researchers.
However, the book also examines resilience and a range of mental
health consequences of trauma, because it has become increasingly
clear that not all individuals react to trauma in the same way. It
is important for mental health professionals to be aware of the
broad range of potential responses to trauma, as well as of
relevant evidence-based treatments. The book includes chapters that
address a wide range of topics on trauma-related disorders,
including nosology and classification, epidemiology, neurobiology,
pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy. Each chapter comprises a
critical review of the existing literature, aimed at being useful
for the practitioner. This is followed by selected commentaries
from other authorities on the topic, representing diverse
geographical locations and points of view, who refine some of the
perspectives offered in the review, provide alternative views, or
suggest important areas of future work.
