Summary:

A handy, easy-to-read reference for the diag- nosis and treatment of posttraumatic and acute stress disorders,℗ℓ this important 6th ℗ℓedition has been revised and updated exten- sively, offering a wealth of new information in a concise format. The new DSM-5 diagnos- tic criteria for PTSD and ASD are discussed in depth. Updated tables listing instruments for assessing diagnosis and symptom severity are presented.℗ℓ℗ℓ Chapters 3-5 have been revised to keep pace with the ever-expanding literature on treatment of PTSD with specific attention to evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, ℗ℓCBT, and other individual psychosocial treatments (e.g. eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR) as well as℗ℓ the growing literature on couples, family, group and school-based treatments. Chapter ℗ℓ5 reviews the pathophysiology of PTSD and evidence-based pharmacotherapy for the disorder.℗ℓ Chapter 6 then addresses both normal acute stress ℗ℓreactions and clinically significant ASD,℗ℓ as well as ℗ℓeffective interventions for each. In short this comprehensive, sophisticated, practical, guide is designed for all practitioners who wish to provide the best treatment for PTSD and ASD.
