The experience of traumatic events is a near-universal, albeit
unfortunate, part of the human experience. Given how many
individuals are exposed to trauma, it is interesting to question
why some individuals are resilient in the face of trauma while
others go on to develop chronic post-traumatic stress. Throughout
the relatively brief history of the psychological study of trauma,
a number of themes have consistently emerged; many of these themes
remain essential elements within our current study of traumatic
stress disorders, as summarized within this volume. The Oxford
Handbook of Traumatic Stress Disorders addresses the current
landscape of research and clinical knowledge surrounding traumatic
stress disorders. Bringing together a group of highly-regarded
experts, this volume is divided into six sections, together
summarizing the current state of knowledge about 1) classification
and phenomenology, 2) epidemiology and special populations, 3)
contributions from theory, 4) assessment, 5) prevention and early
intervention efforts, and 6) treatment of individuals with
post-trauma mental health symptoms. Throughout the volume,
attention is paid to identifying current controversies in the
literature and highlighting directions that hold promise for future
work.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
From the headlines of local newspapers to the coverage of major
media outlets, scenes of war, natural disaster, political
revolution and ethnic repression greet readers and viewers at every
turn. What we often fail to grasp, however, despite numerous
treatments of events is the deep meaning and broader significance
of crisis and disaster. The complexity and texture of these
situations are most evident in the broader personal stories of
those whom the events impact most intimately. Oral history, with
its focus on listening and collaborative creation with
participants, has emerged as a forceful approach to exploring the
human experience of crisis. Despite the recent growth of crisis
oral history fieldwork, there has been little formal discussion of
the process and meaning of utilizing oral history in these
environments. Oral history research takes on special dimensions
when working in highly charged situations often in close proximity
to traumatic events. The emergent inclination for oral historians
to respond to document crisis calls for a shared conversation among
scholars as to what we have learned from crisis work so far. This
dialogue, at the heart of this collection of oral history excerpts
and essays, reveals new layers of the work of the oral historian.
From the perspective of crisis and disaster oral history, the book
addresses both the ways in which we think about the craft of oral
hsitory, and the manner in which we use it. The book presents
excerpts from oral histories done after twelve world crises,
followed by critical analyses by the interviewers. Additional
analytical chapters set the interviews in the contexts of
pyschoanalysis and oral history methodology.
As uncontrolled development forces crises in the natural world,
deeply ingrained human connections with the earth are changing.
Oral history's proven ability to explore issues of race, ethnicity,
class, gender, and sexuality make it a uniquely effective
methodology for bringing in new perspectives to our understanding
of environments. This book brings together interviews with a global
range of activists, farmers, water system managers, victims of
catastrophe, tribal trustees, wilderness rangers, reindeer herders,
and foresters, among others whose life experience gives them
special insights into human-environmental interaction and adaption.
Commentary by oral historians examines how these stories can be
used to better understand our relationship with the natural world.
Oral History and the Environment takes what could seem broad and
impersonal forces such as climate change and environmentalismDLand
crystalizes their meaning through personal stories. It overturns
narrow historical frameworks bounded artificially by national
borders and instead portrays the issues facing our common
ecosystems.
The key feature of the text is its concise, scholarly depth, and
accessible format, which enable readers to gain a clear
understanding of the theory that they may use in future research.
Current texts on the market include redundant, lengthy
presentations of theories that fail to distinguish among key
theoretical contributions. Terrorism is an area of urgent global
concern. The number of terrorism and homeland security-focused
academic programs, think tanks, and research centers has
dramatically increased over the past two decades. Many universities
now offer courses on issues related to terrorism at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels within the social science
disciplines as well as interdisciplinary centers. Yet, there is
only one text and a few book chapters on theories of terrorism. The
approach that we will use in the book will make it attractive to
academics, students, and policy makers who seek to develop
theoretically-driven approaches to policy making. Considering the
current number of programs on terrorism and homeland security
within the United States alone, the growing emphasis on terrorism
studies across the world, and the absence of a clear text on
theories of terrorism, the demand should be quite high. This will
be the only text that offers chapter-length descriptions of each
stage of the radicalization process covering pressing issues in the
field of terrorism.

contribute chapters on topics spanning classification, epidemiology
and special populations, theory, assessment, prevention/early
intervention, treatment, and dissemination and treatment. This
expanded, updated volume provides research updates and highlights
areas that need continued clarification through additional
research. With new chapters on adverse childhood experiences,
suicide following the experience of trauma, and evidence-based
treatments, the second edition provides an up-to-date and valuable
resource for clinicians and investigators with interest in
traumatic stress disorders.

This treatment manual provides mental health professionals with
instructions for conducting written exposure therapy (WET) with
clients who have posttraumatic stress disorder. Authors Denise
Sloan and Brian Marx developed WET in response to a growing demand
for an effective PTSD treatment that is easier to implement, more
affordable, and has lower dropout rates than other trauma
interventions. In their unique approach, the client writes about a
single traumatic event, and the therapist focuses on the client’s
experiences in writing about the trauma, rather than the event
itself. Â Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD contains a
scripted protocol for WET along with detailed clinical guidance for
conducting each session. Sloan and Marx answer frequently asked
questions from clinicians and review real‑life case examples that
demonstrate solutions to common issues and challenges that can
occur during WET sessions. They also explain how to assess the
client before treatment to determine the appropriateness of WET and
during treatment to monitor the client’s progress. Key background
information about PTSD symptoms and WET’s theoretical
underpinnings are also reviewed.
