About this book

Traumatic Stress provides a well-written and accessible overview of traumatic stress studies.
With its pioneering lead author, this book reviews the full range of clinical disorders that may result from extreme stress, with particular emphasis on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It synthesizes the current literature on traumatic stress, including psychological theories of stress and trauma; the biology of stress and trauma reactions; and the factors prior to, during, and after traumatic events that place people at particular risk for the development of psychological problems. It also covers the use of medication and a range of psychological treatments. Completely revamped with new case studies and research, the book gives important updates on biological research and therapy, as well as changes in diagnostic classifications.

The new edition will continue to be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as busy professionals working in this field who want a concise update on disorders related to traumatic stress.
