"How does posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appear in clinical practice, and how can it most effectively be treated? Recent years have seen important advances in knowledge about the nature of PTSD, the common elements of effective intervention, and issues involved in treating different trauma populations and clinical presentations. From leading scientist-practitioner Steven Taylor, this pragmatic book pulls it all together into a coherent, clearly written guide. An outstanding resource and text, the volume provides a thorough understanding of PTSD and details the nuts and bolts of individualized cognitive-behavioral intervention."--BOOK JACKET.
