Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has received considerable
attention over the last few years, yet there is still ongoing
debate concerning its causes and possible treatment. Students,
practitioners and researchers in health psychology, clinical
psychology, social work, psychiatry, and counselling will
appreciate this interesting synthesis of concepts and knowledge in
post-traumatic stress studies. Offering an innovative contribution
to the field, the authors show that post-traumatic stress reactions
are not caused by the traumatic event alone, but that psychosocial
factors play a vital part for individual outcomes. An understanding
of the role of these psychosocial factors in the development of
PTSD will enable clinicians to improve therapeutic intervention.
This book provides that understanding by drawing on existing
theories to present an integrative model of psychosocial adaptation
to trauma. This model can then be applied to understanding and
treating reactions to a broad range of stressful events. Case
studies throughout the book help illustrate the theoretical issues
as well as the treatment aspects.
