- Summary:
- This book explores the underdiagnosed connection between drug use and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients with trauma-related distress such as PTSD often use alcohol and drugs in a problematic manner classifiable as substance use disorder (SUD). By not recognizing the connection between symptoms, providers frequently misdiagnose or do not fully attend to SUD-PTSD comorbidity. This book presents research on how often the two disorders co-occur and why. Authors describe the self-medication model and explore how specific PTSD and substance use symptoms are functionally related to each other. In addition, they suggest assessment approaches and practice guidelines to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment. Particularly valuable are descriptions of several new treatment approaches that have been developed specifically for SUD-PTSD, including cognitive-behavioral and exposure therapy (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
