International Handbook of Traumatic Stress Syndromes

Abstract

(from the preface) The development of the "International Handbook of Traumatic Stress Syndromes" grew out of the recognition that a standard reference volume was needed to organize the subareas of study in the field. . . . These contributions span the breadth and depth of the field at this time concerning theory, research methodology, and treatment considerations across a number of survivor and victim populations. . . . It is our hope that this "Handbook" will stimulate additional research, encourage the discovery of new techniques of treatment, and ultimately help to alleviate the pain and suffering of traumatized persons, their families, and their loved ones.
