This book aims to challenge and change unhelpful attitudes to those
who suffer traumatic reactions, to show that they are not signs of
weakness or a personality disorder and that there is understanding
and help available for those who suffer. It draws on personal and
professional experience. The author has worked as a counsellor,
practising the psychological debriefing he describes in detail,
dealing with many different kinds of traumatic events. He describes
theories and methods used for understanding traumatic stress and
outlines the history of treatments offered, up to the present.
There are also descriptions of the coping strategies used by
professionals in the Emergency and Social Services, which are also
found in civilian organisations and in society in general.The
author describes personal experience, counselling and psychological
debriefing. (Prison Riots, armed robberies, traffic accidents,
rape, aid agency personnel, bomb-disposal, military families held
hostage, Army War Graves' Registration Team).The diagnostic
criteria and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress and Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder are outlined in detail, with examples. Although
Post-Traumatic Stress and Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder cannot be
understood without reference to the military experience of war and
combat, examples are given from both military and civilian
experiences of trauma.Helpful resources are listed: organisations
offering help & support to those who suffer and their families;
and key books.
