In the 1980's, the psychiatric community first officially
recognized posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a diagnosis to
describe the disorder that can occur following exposure to
extremely traumatic events. Since that time, it have been observed
that some patients who have been exposed to trauma do not develop
PTSD or only have symptoms immediately following the event, whereas
others show signs of chronic PTSD. Recently, it has been
hypothesized that the development of chronic PTSD results from a
combination of factors, only some of which are related to exposure
to trauma.
Risk Factors for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder assembles almost
20 experts to examine the latest research on this topic.
Specifically, it covers: - Several important demographic and
environmental risk factors for the development of PTSD- Genetic
risk factors identified through twin studies- Neurbiological risk
factors of PTSD and findings from several family studies-
Psychophysiological expressions of risk factors as well as
neurocognitive risk factors for PTSD- Personality characteristics
in individuals with a propensity to develop PTSD and risk factors
for the acute biological and psychological response to trauma
Complete with a summary of the latest findings that advance our
knowledge of the effects of trauma, this resource it useful in
identifying and treating individuals much earlier following a
traumatic experience as well as in helping prevent vulnerable
individuals from being exposed to traumatic events.
