Table of ContentsReviews'This is a very valuable book for all interested in the study of traumatic stress at various levels of education. It is making traumatic stress research accessible for a large and global audience!' Professor Miranda Olff, Amsterdam UMC, Dept of Psychiatry 'Traumatic Stress is a small but mighty book that presents the most up-to-date information and research on PTSD and other stressor-related disorders clearly, concisely, comprehensively and authoritatively. Seven tightly but accessibly-written chapters focus on diagnosis, prevalence, psychological theory, biological mechanisms, risk factors, the latest research on psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, and, as a finale, a very unique and important chapter on the challenges of dissemination and implementation of evidence-based treatments. It is a superb resource for undergraduate, graduate & post-graduate students as well as for non-specialist medical and mental health clinicians who want to learn about the science and practice of PTSD and related disorders.' Matthew J. Friedman, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth ‘This is everything you need to know about traumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder in an easy to read, highly digestible book. Perfect for new students or established clinicians who want a quick snapshot of where the evidence is at in terms of prevalence, treatment, biology, current psychological theories, and considerations for dissemination. I’ll be recommending this to all my students!’ Professor Meaghan O’Donnell, Head of Research, Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health, The University of Melbourne This book is a great primer on all aspects of PTSD – from epidemiology, to risk factors and theoretical models for why and how PTSD develops, to treatment. The book is extremely comprehensive. It references a large amount of complicated research yet is written in a way that is both engaging and accessible. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to come up to speed on what we know about PTSD and how to treat it. Sonya B. Norman, PhD, Consultation Program Director at NCPTSD, National Center for PTSD, Professor, University of California San Diego School of Medicine 'Traumatic Stress is the perfect book for anyone who wishes to achieve a concise, authoritative, understanding of PTSD and other stressor-related disorders. The authors, Drs. Patricia Resick and Stefanie LoSavio, bring a rare combination of vast clinical and research experience, comprehensive knowledge of the field, and good writing to the task of telling us the essentials of what we need to know about traumatic stress without getting us lost in the weeds of peripheral details. Although the book will be most useful for those who know little about the topic and wish to get up to speed quickly, there is also valuable information in it for traumatic stress “experts” who could use a well-written overview and update of this complex field. In short, this is an excellent book that is valuable contribution to the traumatic stress field.' Dean G. Kilpatrick, Ph.D., Distinguished University Professor, Medical University of South Carolina 'This slim volume packs a punch. Traumatic Stress is a compact comprehensive primer on the basics of PTSD and other related trauma-disorders. It distills the essential evidence-base about trauma into clear concise conceptual units that will resonate with a wide range of readers – from undergraduates to clinicians and researchers who need to update their competencies in traumatic stress studies. With the straight-forward no-nonsense style that Resick is known for, she and her colleague Stefanie LoSavio, simplify --without distorting ---the essential knowledge that every trauma professional needs to know. This should be mandatory reading for all in the field who want to get a handle on the major science and theories shaping the field of traumatic stress.'
