BOOK EXCERPT:
"The first edition of this book was written in response to the proliferation of research on psychological trauma, along with the growing need for scientifically based evaluation of posttraumatic disturbance and its assessment. The second edition updates and expands on this endeavor. It reviews in detail a number of new trauma-relevant tests that have become available since the last edition and discusses a variety of critical issues associated with trauma-relevant DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) diagnoses. Also included in this second edition is information on additional forms of trauma (e.g., mass violence against noncombatants, including the terrorist attacks of September 2001; life-threatening illness and medical procedures; stalking; and sex trafficking), as well as added material on acute stress responses, complicated grief reactions, adjustment disorders, posttraumatic depression, panic disorder, trauma-related psychosis, "culture-bound" stress responses, peritraumatic dissociation and other dissociative responses, and complex posttraumatic syndromes. In addition, this edition includes a brief analysis of "assault syndromes" (e.g., rape trauma syndrome and battered woman syndrome) as they relate to trauma assessment in forensic contexts. This book devotes considerable attention to different forms of trauma exposure and describes in detail the full range of potential posttraumatic responses. In addition, the reference section is relatively extensive. Although children also experience a variety of difficulties in response to major stressors, this book is limited to adult posttraumatic responses--Intro.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This authored text-reference will be the first comprehensive text in the rapidly growing field of psychological trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder.According to the NIMH, approximately 5.2 million American adults already suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. Caused by everything from combat experience to violent personal assaults to natural disasters and accidents, the incidence of PTSD has already reached epidemic proportions.

As a result, scholars, researchers, educators, clinicians, and trainees in the health care and human and social services need a concise and comprehensive source of authoritative information on psychological trauma and posttraumatic stress. This volume will offer a foundational understanding of the field as well cover key controversies, the influence of culture and gender, and describe state-of-the-art research and clinical methodologies in down-to-earth terms. Clinical case studies will be used liberally. - Concise but comprehensive coverage of biological, clinical and social issues surrounding PTSD - Thoroughly covers evidence-based treatments, enabling the reader to translate current research into effective practice - Exemplifies practical application through case studies
