Precise and relevant, a comprehensive review of the history,
theory, and treatment of PTSD....I find this an essential text in
my graduate counseling course.--James Halpern, PhD, Department of
Psychology, State University of New York at New Paltz
Wilson, Friedman, and Lindy define the theory of PTSD treatment
with authority and clarity. Readers will appreciate how well the
volume integrates the scientific, intellectual, and ethical
principles for choosing effective clinical interventions. As much a
'why to' as a 'how to' book, this is a volume to be owned by all
serious PTSD scholars and practitioners.--Frank M Ochberg, MD,
former Associate Director, National Institute of Mental Health
The perennial request of trauma practitioners is 'Give me something
I can use--something practical!' This text defines the major themes
of recovery across populations and relates these goals to specific
interventions and techniques. Adding the areas of
attachment/intimacy and interpersonal relationships and
self/identity and life course development to the 'basic three' of
PTSD (intrusion, avoidance, physiological symptoms) fills in
previously missing gaps. This is one of the first volumes to
address PTSD treatment from a non-unitary perspective,
acknowledging that traumatic responses exist on a continuum and
presenting treatment goals that apply to all aspects of the
disorder. It is a great step forward and a 'must read.'--Mary Beth
Williams, PhD, LCSW, CTS, coauthor of Life after Trauma
The construct of PTSD and its underlying theory have been
challenged by recent advances in research and practice. This book
makes a daring attempt to redraw the picture, representing a sort
of conceptual avant-garde. Using the construct of allostatic load,
the book offers new theory and clinical approaches. The reader will
find novelty, excitement, controversy, and much food for
thought.--Arieh Y. Shalev, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Hadassah
University Hospital, Israel
- An authoritative volume that should be on the required reading
list for any serious course on trauma, stress, posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), victimology, or abnormal psychology or clinical
psychology practicum....It broadens the reader's perceptions of
psychopathology and provides a much-needed lens for understanding
both catastrophic trauma and the inevitable, pervasive, smallerbut
commontrauma that goes unrecognized in everyday life.[Chapters] are
informed by the latest theory and clinical research and describe a
broad array of effective interventions and fine-tuned treatment
goals. --Psychiatric Services, 1/15/2004ƒƒ This scholarly and lucid
book offers a comprehensive, 'state-of-the-art' schema for the
treatment of multiple aspects of psychological trauma....Will
positively affect trauma research and treatment over the next
decade. --International Journal of Group Psychotherapy, 1/15/2004
