Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Basic Science and Clinical Practice
From the reviews:"This book uses a variety of authors to review various aspects of the diagnosis, physiology, neurobiology, evaluation, and treatment of PTSD. … an invaluable resource for all clinicians and neuroscientists concerned with the condition. … Chapters end with an extensive list of current and relevant references, and numerous illustrations, diagrams, and figures … highlight salient features of the discussions. … It is well written, and the diagrams and illustrations provide appropriate visual representations of the important major points." (Steven T. Herron, Doody’s Review Service, September, 2009)“Peter Shiromani … produce a book that will have much to offer both clinicians and investigators in the field of sleep. … provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of normal sleep-wake control that are likely to malfunction in PTSD. … Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder should be seen as a landmark in the joining of the PTSD and sleep fields.” (Richard J. Ross, Sleep, Vol. 32 (12), 2010)“This is a worthwhile volume that will surely be useful in a new age of books that attempt, as this one does, to identify and apply the basic and applied science of PTSD. … Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Basic Science and Clinical Practice represents a growing and welcomed interest in PTSD among fields outside mental health practice, and it is consistent with the movement toward viewing traumatic consequences in terms of injury and recovery … .” (Charles R. Figley, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 55 (14), April, 2010)“This is an exceptionally well-written and edited text, with a fine selection of chapter authors. … most suited to graduate students or postgraduate researchers who have an interest in conducting basic science or clinical trials for further understanding of underlying processes or treatments for PTSD. … I highly recommend Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Basic Science and Clinical Practice for graduate students or postgraduate neuroscience researchers and university-based psychiatrists interested in expanding their research into basic science studies or clinical trials.” (Thomas Allen Grieger, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 303 (19), May, 2010)
