Rezensionen

"Since its inception in 1980, research and theory on PTSD have grown exponentially. Making sense of the burgeoning and often contradictory findings is no small feat, especially in the context of a demanding clinical schedule. Rosen and Frueh's important book takes a huge leap toward clarity. The chapters are authored by leading experts in the field and each address one of the pressing issues of the day. The tone is sensible and authoritative throughout, but always with a thoughtful ear toward clinical concerns and implications. The scope and clarity of the writing alone make this an invaluable resource." -- George A. Bonanno, Ph.D., Professor of Clinical Psychology, Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology Teachers College, Columbia University
