Product Description
Review
"Edited by leading clinical researchers, this timely text presents authoritative reviews of the most effective treatments for PTSD. Systematic and constructively critical reviews of current evidence are presented, and clear practice guidelines are described. The text is essential reading for all clinicians and researchers serving clients with PTSD. Graduate students in many disciplines will find this a helpful guide through the concepts, critical issues, and future key directions in the field." --William Yule, PhD, Professor of Applied Child Psychology, University of London Institute of Psychiatry, UK
"In a field characterized by sometimes outlandish claims of miracle cures, it is good to have a book that is marked by careful analysis, sound research, and clear-headed thinking. This is 'must' reading for clinicians and researchers alike, and will also be invaluable in educational and training settings." --Gerald C. Davison, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Southern California
"Studies indicate that nearly 9% of the United States population will experience the serious syndrome of PTSD at some point in their lives. Accordingly, knowledge of what works and what doesn't work to help people with PTSD recover is essential to the practicing mental health clinician. Foa, Keane, and Friedman have brought together leading experts to provide the first comprehensive set of guidelines regarding treatment of this disorder. Based on the best available scientific evidence, recommendations are appropriately qualified by clinical experience and the limitations of the research studies. This volume sets a new standard for practice guidelines. It will likely become the 'bible' for clinicians and investigators who seek information on PTSD treatment, as well as for graduate-level courses in psychotherapy, trauma, and mental health services." --Paul Crits-Christoph, PhD, Director, Center for Psychotherapy Research; Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania

A good introduction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Effective Treatments for PTSD: Practice Guidelines from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (Hardcover)
As the field of psychological trauma treatment matures, this book fills a need to provide a broad overview of where it is. It might be argued that the editors' investment in one of the therapies discussed in the book (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) colors their presentation and leads to the neglect of other therapies, both established (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and promising (Cognitive Therapy), this is not a major flaw as the individual chapters are written by individuals with some knowledge of their subject areas. Nonetheless, given the ongoing research being conducted on treating PTSD, researchers should bear in mind that this book will likely need revisions within the next year or two to be truly accurate.

For PTSD specialists,
By Mixail "Mixail" (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Effective Treatments for PTSD: Practice Guidelines from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (Hardcover)
This is a good book for people who want to know more about PTSD. It does not contain psycho bubble, but is rather written in clear coherent professional English. It offers a variety of effective treatments which are backed by current research and literature.

Effective Treatments for PTSD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Effective Treatments for PTSD: Practice Guidelines from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (Hardcover)
I highly recommend this book for any professional who counsels people who have post traumatic stress disorder. The treatment guidelines are excellent, and the review of the literature that backs up the selection of the guidelines clearly guides the reader step by step to a better understanding of what treatment approaches are currently backed up by existing research and which are not.
