Product Description

Product Description

For the millions who suffer from the effects of a traumatic experience, this book offers help and hope and provides the diverse elements needed for lasting recovery. Trauma can take many forms, from the most disturbing of circumstances such as witnessing a murder or violent crime to the subtle trauma of living with the effects of abuse or alcoholism. Deep emotional wounds often seem like they will never heal, but Schiraldi has helped and witnessed survivors recover, grow, and find happiness.

By helping people recognize the coping mechanisms and by dealing directly with the effects of a traumatic experience, there is a great reason for hope. The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook is a guide for both survivors and their loved ones, helping them to see that on the other side of their pain is recovery and growth.

  • Explains the psychic defenses that can go into effect to protect a victim from further emotional harm
  • Provides information on triggers and the debilitating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Addresses how the healing process can begin and how fear diminishes through a variety of medic and nonmedicinal treatment methods


Synopsis

An important guidebook for those suffering from a traumatic experience provides information on coping mechanisms, emotional triggers, the mental defenses that protect us from further harm, and much more. Original.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook: A Guide to Healing, Recovery, and Growth, Nov 20 2009
By S. Little "book lover" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook: A Guide to Healing, Recovery, and Growth (Paperback)
This book is extremely helpful and full of information. As a parent of a teenage daughter suffering from PTSD as a result of a sexual assault, this book is an instrumental tool and helping me to understand what she is going through and what I can possibly do to help her heal. For her, it is a sourcebook of information for her condition. One of the best I've seen in my one year search for information on this subject only to usually find very clinical books deemed more for professionals in the field than for the average joe. This book is for the everday person needing help and information. Highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Survival guide, Aug 14 2004
By A Customer
Forget about a survial guide for the woods--this is the one you need. Highly informative, well-written, and above all, USEFUL, this "about time" book should be flying off the shelves given the fact that there are so many of us suffering from this disorder. Looking for a place to start with your problems? This is it.

Also recommended: Good Grief, The Bark of the Dogwood, Sybil

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource!, Jun 18 2004
By A Customer
As a sufferer of PTSD, I find this book to be one of my saving graces. When things get rough, I pull out the book. (it actually has its own place on my nightstand!) There are so many great techniques and explanations included that are in real english and easy to read and understand. I wish I could have found it a year ago!
