Publisher's Summary
What is posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and who experiences it? Why do some people develop PTSD after a traumatic event while others do not? What are the unique impacts of trauma on children? Are there effective treatments for traumatic stress disorders?
PTSD: What Everyone Needs to Know is a scientifically supported yet accessible resource on a disorder that affects up to seven percent of adults during their lifetime. Utilizing a listener-friendly Q&A format, the book demystifies and defines PTSD, explaining that, despite popular opinion and countless media portrayals, this is not simply a disorder for combat veterans. Instead, survivors of any life-threatening event can experience PTSD. Beginning with an overview of common types of trauma, internationally renowned experts on traumatic stress Barbara Rothbaum and Sheila Rauch then go on to describe the effects of PTSD, what can trigger the disorder, and who is likely to experience it. They explain how the most effective treatments work and guide listeners on how to be a source of support and understanding for those who have experienced trauma.
