How can we best understand PTSD? Why do the majority of people who
are exposed to traumatic stress fail to develop PTSD? Is PTSD best
regarded as a failure or delay in the natural processes of
protection and recovery? This book represents the fruits of ten
years' experience of working with the survivors of accidents and
disasters. The contributors have all worked at the world-famous
University of London Institute of Psychiatry's unit for the study
and treatment of PTSD, and thus combine here to present a coherent
account of PTSD and its treatment, based largely on a social
learning and cognitive behavioural framework. Perspectives from
cognitive psychology and information processing, social psychology,
developmental psychology, and neuropsychology are brought together
to enlighten our understanding of PTSD, individual reactions, and
treatment approaches. Cross-cultural issues and issues of disaster
planning and emergency response are also covered. Academics,
researchers and professionals will find in this volume
* Contemporary models of PTSD based on the latest knowledge
* An authoritative, critical account of PTSD and treatment
methods, based on scientific research and unparalleled clinical
experience
* A coherent approach to PTSD in adults and children, with
consideration of both individual aspects and social/community
concerns
All psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and planners with a
special interest in or responsibility for dealing with PTSD will
welcome this important and much-awaited volume. From the Foreword
by Professor S. Rachman, Vancouver: "an extremely informative and
stimulating book that covers the field. How much progress has been
accomplished inthe past decade? The best and quickest answer is to
read this volume."
