Integrating critical and feminist psychology, psychiatry, and
psychoanalysis, this text offers a distinct perspective of
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a clinical and social
phenomenon. The book draws upon interviews carried out in field
settings to examine the true individual and social costs of being
diagnosed with PTSD. The author examines how social contexts and
social movements shape diagnostic thinking about mental trauma and
how the PTSD diagnosis emerged as a symptom of a crisis in
psychiatry over demands to recognize the social and political
origins of mental suffering. Chapters explore case examples from a
range of settings, such as military and veterans' affairs clinics,
war zones and refugee camps, psychosomatic medicine, the criminal
justice system, and more. Providing a new way of thinking about
PTSD and an alternative to both critics and defenders of the
diagnosis, this text will be useful for scholars and practitioners
in psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, public health policy as
well as, sociology, social work, gender studies, and the law.
