description: Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are the most common type of trauma experienced by men and the second most common experienced by women. Moreover, MVAs are the single leading cause of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the general population. And yet, the psychological assessment and treatment of road crash survivors has been little studied in the United States. Drawing on the authors' extensive research, clinical care of MVA survivors and their five-year study of this unique population, After the Crash fills a gap in our clinical knowledge of this widespread phenomenon.
