Summary
As the editors comment in their preface, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is "arguably the most controversial of all the psychiatric diagnoses." This book covers several aspects of PTSD. The authors discuss the numerous advances in empirical work, thread through the theoretical controversies, and offer clinicians and policy makers a practical approach to clinical and community intervention. Editors Stein (psychiatry, U. of Cape Town, South Africa), Friedman (psychiatry, pharmacology, and toxicology, National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, US Department of Veterans Affairs), Blanco (psychiatry, Columbia U.), and 34 co-authors provided material for the book. While intended for a professional audience, the book also would appeal to general readers who want to learn more about the topic and current research.
