Riassunto

Unparalleled in its breadth and depth, this state-of-the-art Handbook reviews current scientific advances in understanding trauma and PTSD, discusses the implications for clinical practice, and evaluates the status of evidence-based assessment and treatment. The foremost authorities in the field examine posttraumatic psychological reactions on multiple levels, from genes and neurocircuitry to gender and lifespan development. Established and emerging psychological, medical, and public health interventions are discussed in depth, as are issues in tailoring treatment to the needs of different populations. Special topics include forensic issues, resilience, and prevention. The integrative concluding chapter presents a reasoned agenda for future research.

This book will be invaluable to clinicians and researchers in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, nursing, counseling, and related fields and it will also serve as a text in graduate-level courses.

Recensione:

"A scholarly tour de force... The practitioner will be able to pick and choose chapters according to his or her populations of interest, understand base rates and epidemiology, and even track down intervention protocols proven effective for particular patients. Clinical scientists or laboratories devoted to trauma research will have at their disposal in the Handbook a transparently generous guide to programmatic research." - PsycCRITIQUES

"Highly organized, balanced, evidence-based, and comprehensive... An essential resource for anyone who works as a clinician or researcher in the trauma field, and it is recommended for residency and graduate training programs... Irrespective of the reader's school of thought, discipline, or level of training, this book provides a multitude of ways to enrich and inspire a better understanding of this complex field." - New England Journal of Medicine
