Download or read book Trauma and Recovery written by Judith Lewis Herman and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.

Download or read book Post Traumatic Therapy And Victims Of Violence written by Frank Ochberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Ochberg - one of the pioneers in the field - has brought together nationally and internationally recognized experts who have treated thousands of victims in such subspecialty areas as rape, incest and battering, as well as Vietnam veterans and refugees. They provide a wealth of knowledge about Post-Traumatic Therapy (PTT) within these populations. PTT is not just a series of techniques but a clinical philosophy that requires empathic understanding of the victim, collaboration between therapist and client, and recognition of empowerment as a therapeutic tool. PTT centers on stress and coping, focuses on the strengths of the victim, and is integrative with respect to biological, psychological and social fears.
Download or read book Post traumatic Stress Disorder written by Raymond B. Flannery and published by Crossroad Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In doctor's offices, therapy sessions, and in the courtroom, the term Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is being discussed with increasing frequency as the crippling effects of this severe life stress are identified. This is the first book for victims (and their families) that describes what PTSD is, including the linkage between addiction and this kind of trauma, and shows how to marshall the skills of stress-resistant persons to recover from its debilitating effects. The causes of PTSD are many, all associated with violence and abuse. They range from rape and battering and child abuse to the horrors of combat or calamities like natural disasters and auto and airplane crashes. These traumatic events are overwhelming in their impact and destroy the victims' sense of being in control of their lives, and alter attachments to others. If left untreated these disruptions, along with physical symptoms such as being unable to relax, being easily startled, or having recurring nightmares or intrusive memories, form this medical condition. Although an expert in the treatment of stress, Raymond Flannery writes with great clarity for the lay-person, and offers real hope that recovery and healing is possible. Therapists and counselors will find this book to be of great assistance in their efforts to help victims.

Download or read book Trauma and Survival written by Elizabeth A. Waites and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1993-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, Elizabeth Waites proposes a new concept of female psychology, supported by research, that challenges the notion of the pathologized or "hysterical" woman. Integrating psychological, legal, sociological, and historical research findings, as well as the psychology of women that has evolved over the last two decades, she offers a new model of mental health that considers dissociation and post-traumatic syndromes as normal reactions to trauma and victimization, both within the family and in the wider cultural context. By taking apart patriarchal social constructs, Dr. Waites examines how women are beset on every side with double binds, which force them to adopt coping mechanisms that help integrate these contradictory messages into a liveable reality. Often, these mechanisms are not recognized as being pathological or adaptive because they fit with the perception of the "good" woman. In a perceptive and penetrating opening chapter, she makes explicit the causal link between trauma and "female" disorders such as borderline personality disorder, dissociative disorders, multiple personality disorder, and depression. This link is often not seen, because the more benign connection between cultural programming and garden-variety "female" behavior (forgetfulness, hysteria, overemotionality, dependence) is not made. She then goes on to cover diagnosis and treatment of trauma-related disorders, with chapters on PTSD in rape, battering, and incest, and in the dissociative disorders. Included also is a chapter that focuses on professional ethics, particularly therapist motives and implications of diagnosis. The book concludes by addressing special issues in therapy, including iatrogenic symptoms, revictimization, therapy with patients who self-injure, victims of ritualized abuse, and enactment in the session. This book refutes the centuries-old idea that there is a gender-related biological imperative in female mental health, while offering a rational and sound model for diagnosing and treating traumatized women. Intended primarily for therapists who work in a variety of treatment settings with female victims of violence, it will be useful to any clinician who treats women and who is sensitive to the impact of sexism on their lives.
