Description
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more traumatic events. It is a severe and ongoing emotional reaction to extreme psychological trauma, such as threat to life, being a victim of crime or sexual assault, witnessing someone's death, or a threat to one's physical and/or psychological integrity. This book provides information on PTSD and related problems, the history of the field, common responses to trauma, theory, assessment, treatment, and research findings. It also explores new theoretical thinking and directions in the field of trauma, including post-traumatic growth following adversity. The updated edition addresses topics such as the impact of traumatic bereavement, the needs of ex-hostages and their families, and suggestions for self-help after trauma. The book is a valuable resource for those affected by PTSD, as well as helping professionals, such as general practitioners, psychologists, social workers, mental health nurses, counsellors, and those supporting victims of trauma in the voluntary sector.
