| Summary |
"Our scientific understanding of psychological trauma has expanded dramatically over the past century, but in many ways some things have remained remarkably constant: Traumatic events may significantly alter the inner and outer landscape of a person's life. At times these alterations contribute to growth and a deeper appreciation of life, yet at other times the traumatic exposure leads to a negative cascade of shifts in beliefs, behavior, and mood, adversely affecting all aspects of one's life. The strong similarities seen among those so negatively affected led to the formal recognition of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980. From that point, the field of inquiry rapidly evolved, as the 17 symptoms that constituted a PTSD diagnosis were recognized among highly divergent populations who shared the commonality of experiencing a potentially traumatic event, be it torture, rape, physical or sexual abuse, and natural disaster. These symptoms that form the PTSD diagnosis have served the field well in legitimizing the negative aftermath of trauma survivors, fostering communication, description, theory, and treatments. Most saliently, as a result of the diagnostic nomenclature, intensive research ensued into treatment options available to those diagnosed with PTSD. This volume presents the work of a range of clinicians who recognize the complex nature of PTSD and other trauma-related conditions and appreciate the need to adopt integrated treatments that consider the whole person, frequently in conjunction with his or her intimate relationships and community. Particular treatments possess more efficacy than others, and they should be widely disseminated and integrated into treatment plans. Our hope is that each chapter will evoke questions and thoughts in the reader on what constitutes the effective treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. At times these thoughts may validate the reader's clinical experience, and at other times they may require a shift in one's clinical or theoretical paradigm. Most of all, our goal is for this volume to expand clinicians' skill sets and thus allow them to more effectively treat persons who have been exposed to potentially traumatic events"--Introduction.
