Traumatic Stress: The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society

Traumatic Stress: The Effects of Overwhelming Experience on Mind, Body, and Society

Alexander C. McFarlane
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This volume presents the current state of research and clinical knowledge on traumatic stress and its treatment. With contributions from the leading authorities, the book summarizes the knowledge that has emerged since the acceptance of PTSD as a defined entity in 1980. It also addresses the uncertainties and controversies that confront the field of traumatic stress, including the complexity of posttraumatic adaptations and the unproven effectiveness of some approaches to prevention and treatment.

Throughout the book, contributors demonstrate that rather than a normal response to an extraordinary situation, PTSD leads to a profound disorganization of the capacity to properly attend to subsequent stresses and to distinguish relevant from irrelevant stimuli. Highlighting the controversies and uncertainties that punctuate the study of trauma--including issues of memory, dissociation, and the interface between culture and trauma and the inextricable relationships between biological and psychological processes--this book examines how effective treatment interventions require a firm understanding of the basic processes involved at various stages in the development of PTSD.
