First sentence: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arises when a person experiences a traumatic event and then develops particular symptoms that persist for at least a month [American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2000].
Description: Are behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies sufficiently broad in their effects on trauma-related psychopathology and related factors? This volume considers many of the complexities in treating PTSD, and emphasizes evidence-based approaches to treatment. A useful resource for clinicians, trainees, as well as investigators doing research into the treatment of PTSD.
