| Summary |
"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."--Jacket |

"All psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and planners with a special interest in or responsibility for dealing with PTSD will welcome this volume."--Jacket |
