`Review from previous edition For a small book...Post-traumatic
stress really does punch above its weight.'
Occupational Safety & Health Journal
`This is a valuable resource that covers a tremendous amount of
information in 100 pages. What stands out is the frank discussion
about misconceptions and myths about trauma. Quite often books on
trauma are lax on assessment and treatment, but this book
adequately provides a solid understanding of the field. The case
vignettes, appropriately spaced throughout the chapters, provide
excellent illustrations as well as teaching points for graduate
level
classes. This book is an affordable and exceptional primer and
reference on trauma. It is a cost-effective way to increase your
knowledge of trauma and have available a dependable reference on
your shelf.'
Doody's
`This fantastic, highly portable gem of a book was easy to read and
full of everything that I, as a newcomer to this particular area of
work, needed to get me started. As a student I particularly
appreciated the key points overview at the beginning of each
chapter and found the contents of the 'Cultural responses to
trauma' chapter thought provoking.'
Amazon Review
`This book gave me background information about P.T.S. without a
bias towards any type of 'cure'.'
Amazon Review
`Does what is says on the tin! In its little size it covers a lot
including the main questions people have regarding Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as common responses, concepts and
theories, as well as assessment, formulation, and of course
treatment.'
Amazon Review
`I work in this field and have learned to value the vital
importance of keeping this kind of work 'simple and human'. This
book does this supremely well. It provides great background and
context and should be essential reading for all that work in this
field and all those who's lives have been sadly touched by such
trauma. Very reader friendly and well laid out.'
