"[An] excellent handbook that provides a comprehensive and in-depth look at PTSD. Williams and Sommer create a conceptual framework for diagnosing, treating, and assessing post-traumative stress in survivors of violence, abuse, war, political torture, and disaster. Chapters are devoted to creative therapies, group interventions, and several new trends." - Choice
"[T]he usefulness of the book is immediately obvious because of the comprehensiveness of the topics covered, and the wealth of accumulated experience and knowledge of the contributing authors. The book should be read by anyone interested in or practicing in the field of psychological trauma or traumatic stress recovery. . . . The impact of the book upon the field of traumatology will be one of educational value. That is, there are now volumes of theories, hypotheses, research, and opinions about the causes and treatment of post-traumatic stress, but few works which include the vast accumulation of practical experience and knowledge gathered in this book. It provides an opportunity for the many isolated practitioners to compare their knowledge and techniques with those of the experts in the field, and then decide what methods may be most effective in the treatment of their trauma survivors." - JTS
