| Summary: | "This is the first comprehensive clinical text on acute stress disorder (ASD) since its 1994 introduction into the DSM-IV as a diagnostic category. The authors have outlined the rationale and techniques to prevent the development of PTSD by identifying and treating those with ASD. Drawing from their pioneering clinical and research experience, they review the underlying theoretical issues, present a step-by-step guide to assessing and treating ASD, and detail the procedures for using cognitive behavior therapy to treat ASD, illustrating the application of techniques with clinical examples. Ethical and legal issues are discussed as is the treatment of specific populations, including emergency workers, children, and victims of prolonged trauma. This authoritative book is a must-read for academic and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals working with victims of trauma."--BOOK JACKET. |
