Description - Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by Gerald Rosen
Is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) an illness that arises
after horrific and life-threatening events? Or is it a label that
medicalizes human suffering, and brings with it more problems than
it solves?
Still a relatively new diagnosis, PTSD has changed our
vocabulary and shaped our views on human coping and resilience. Yet
almost every assumption upon which the diagnosis rests has come
under question. In this volume, Gerald Rosen brings together
leading international scholars in posttraumatic studies to consider
the most contentious debates. Each chapter offers an analysis of
the issues, reviews current research, and clarifies implications
for the practicing clinician.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Issues and Controversies
is essential reading for all practitioners, researchers, and
students who work in the field of trauma. Professionals in related
health fields and the law will also find this book useful.
