Helpful book

This books lays it out simply, even for a lay person. I have PTSD and needed to learn more about it, and found this book of help to my family and me. I do recommend it.

Educational for both Clinician and Layperson

I am the webowner of "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Sanctuary." This book is more clinical, yet is very understandable for the lay person so I also recommend it to everyone. There is a great deal of material in here. Many forms of therapy discussed. Uncovering the trauma, feelings work, ptsd related problems, symptom management, and final healing stages discussed. Discussion of the clinicial diagnosis and assessment of ptsd - formulating a treatment plan, and assistance with all phases all therapy with trauma patients.Very helpful and educational book. I highly recommend it.Patty Pheil MSW
