Shocks to the System: Psychotherapy of Traumatic Disability Syndromes (Norton Professional Books)

Why do some people seem to bounce back from trauma and tragedy, while others suffer long-lasting and crippling traumatic disability syndromes? What are the keys to triumphing over trauma?

In Shocks to the System, Laurence Miller offers a practical clinical guide for therapists who work with patients traumatized by criminal assaults, traffic accidents, toxic exposure, natural and man-made disasters, terrorist attacks, industrial injuries, sexual harassment, brain injury and chronic pain, workplace violence, and law enforcement and emergency services stress. This book also addresses the legal, family, economic, and social issues surrounding traumatic disability syndromes. Shocks to the System is a unique and comprehensive resource for therapists entering what will surely become a rapidly expanding and challenging field of clinical practice in the decades ahead.

Excellent series, inventive and fast-paced

The Traitor to the Crown series is a lot of fun, and a must-read for fantasy and historical fiction fans alike. I found the conclusion (which I will not ruin here) to be very satisfying and a great story in and of itself. I look forward to reading more from Finlay!

Even if he wanted to get back involved, he will not leave his...
