5.0 out of 5 stars Hey, I'm giving you five stars, Aug 14 2004
Written for survivors of crime, rape, family dysfunction, and everything else, this usefull book centers itself on Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. The thing is, most who have PTSD aren't even aware of it. Guilt, depression, suicide, and "acting out" are some of the symptoms. God, practically the entire world falls into this category. This is a very valuable book for everyone, regardless of whether or not you "think" you have it. Would also recommend two other great books on the subject, though they are fiction: "Good Grief" and "The Bark of the Dogwood." Both are excellent and great character studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book!, April 13 2004
By A Customer
I was interested in getting over trauma that I had due to a sexual assault. I realized in the course of reading this book that I had experienced PTSD as a result of my trauma. It was nice to be able to put a label on what I was feeling and know that it was normal and understood. That helped me a great deal.

I am a social worker and want to specialize in treating those who are traumatized. I am glad to have this book as a resource.

This book explains trauma in an easy to understand fashion. It also gives information on different types of trauma and specific issues that survivors will deal with. All along the way, there are exercises for the reader that help him/her learn more about what he/she is experiencing. These were so helpful!

Great book. Dr. Matsakis also wrote a book called "Trust After Trauma: A Guide to Relationships for Survivors and Those Who Love Them". Another great one to add to your library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful insight, April 8 2004
What insight! I also highly recommend reading Peaceful Heart: A Woman's Journey of Healing, by Aimee Jo Martin....a book that is a true testament to the human spirit and takes the reader thru a client's perspective of getting thru PTSD.
