Description

Part of the 'Go-To' series, this book is written for clients and therapists to use together in combating the debilitating effects of trauma. Though posttraumatic street disorder (PTSD) was only added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) in 1980, since that time the number of patients diagnosed with the disorder has grown exponentially. Trauma Essentials works in two ways to address trauma: as a review for therapists and as a straightforward, easy-to-use guide for patients. Topics covered here range from definitions and symptoms to accepted treatments, physiological explanations, and treatment evaluation strategies, all written in Rothschild's characteristically accessible style.
