Editorial Review:
Developed under the auspices of the PTSD Treatment Guidelines Task Force of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, this comprehensive volume offers best practice guidelines for the treatment of PTSD. The book represents the collaborative work of experts across a range of theoretical orientations and professional backgrounds. After addressing general treatment considerations and methodological issues, chapters review and evaluate the salient literature on treatment approaches for children, adolescents, and adults. Approaches covered include acute interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy, EMDR, group therapy, psychodynamic therapy, inpatient treatment, psychosocial rehabilitation, hypnotherapy, marital and family treatment, and creative therapies. Standardized ratings are provided of each modality's efficacy for reducing core symptoms, and therapeutic goals, methods, and treatment planning recommendations are summarized. Synthesizing a vast body of knowledge into a cohesive, practical framework, this volume will be the definitive resource for all clinicians and researchers working in the area of PTSD.

Rating:  - PTSD treatment sampler
I was impressed to see so many big names in PTSD research and treatment contribute to this text. Unfortunately, in most cases, I found descriptions for each of the effective treatments, rather than instructions. More helpful, specific instruction can be found in the authors' journal articles.

I'd recommend this book to someone who is completely unfamiliar with treatments ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Accurate Walk through the winding path of PTSD

If you want concise and comprehensive information concerning PTSD this is a must read. It is well written, clear, and provides a great review of the current literaure regarding treatments for PTSD. Highly recommended.
Rating: - A humane and rational book for clinicians
This is an excellent review of all the major modalities of treatment for PTSD, including some that have wide use with traditional or anecdotal support but little or no adequate scientific research, such as psychodynamic, hypnosis, and art therapies. New, relatively un-researched approaches such as EMDR are indeed included, as well as the 'gold standards' of CBT and medications.
Since the format emphasizes research-based discussions of each treatment's strengths, weaknesses, proper applications, ... Read More
Rating: - A good introduction
As the field of psychological trauma treatment matures, this book fills a need to provide a broad overview of where it is. It might be argued that the editors' investment in one of the therapies discussed in the book (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) colors their presentation and leads to the neglect of other therapies, both established (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and promising (Cognitive Therapy), this is not a major flaw as the individual chapters are written by individuals with some knowledge ...
