This volume will offer a foundational understanding of the field as well cover key controversies, the influence of culture and gender, and describe state-of-the-art research and clinical methodologies in down-to-earth terms. Clinical case studies will be used liberally.- Concise but comprehensive coverage of biological, clinical and social issues surrounding PTSD- Thoroughly covers evidence-based treatments, enabling the reader to translate current research into effective practice- Exemplifies practical application through case studies
