Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder: Issues and Controversies
Gerald Rosen (Editor)
Description
Is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) an illness that arises after horrific and
life-threatening events? Or is it a label that medicalizes human suffering, and brings
with it more problems than it solves?
Still a relatively new diagnosis, PTSD has changed our vocabulary and shaped our views on
human coping and resilience. Yet almost every assumption upon which the diagnosis rests
has come under question. In this volume, Gerald Rosen brings together leading
international scholars in posttraumatic studies to consider the most contentious debates.
Each chapter offers an analysis of the issues, reviews current research, and clarifies
implications for the practicing clinician.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Issues and Controversies is essential reading for all
practitioners, researchers, and students who work in the field of trauma. Professionals in
related health fields and the law will also find this book useful.
