Customer Reviews

Great foundation book for PTSD

I love this book! It offers a comprehensive look at PTSD in combat veterans, domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims. While I worked at Vet Center as a counselor to combat vets, many of the staff highly recommended this book to me. It offers great insight as to what PTSD is, how PTSD develops and how to treat it. At 172 pages, it cannot be not an end-all book. (PTSD treatment manuals written for therapists can be over 400 pages long) but this book is hard to beat for practical information. I love it as a counselor and still recommend it to clients today. You don't have to have a graduate degree to understand it.
