Product Description

Synopsis

Accidents and disasters dominate the headlines and news programmes, capturing, for a while, the attention and sympathy of the public. But for the victims and witnesses of trauma, the psychological effects are far from fleeting. Recent research shows that the psychological reactions in the initial aftermath of the trauma are a critical predictor of longer-term adjustment. This text provides a comprehensive clinical examination of acute stress disorder (ASD) since its 1994 introduction into DSM-IV as a diagnostic category. The authors outline 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, then present a step-by-step guide to assessing and treating ASD, and detail the procedures for using cognitive behaviour therapy to treat ASD. The book is a suitable reference for academic and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working with victims of trauma.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential read for trauma specialists., 26 Jun 2000

By Dr.Eileen O Regan - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Acute Stress Disorder: A Handbook of Theory, Assessment and Treatment (Hardcover)

Bryant and Harvey who are well known in the field of Acute Stress Disorder and Post traumatic Stress Disorder are authors of this excellent book.The content is suitable for those who work with traumatised individuals and provides a balanced account of research to date in this area while highlighting areas as yet to be researched.This book gives a useful account of methods used in the treatment of ASD and PTSD and tends to focus on cognitive behavioural methods mostly ( in particular- Prolonged Exposure),unfortunately it does not really address biological theories and treatments available.Examples of clients traumas are given and methods of addressing these in a safe manner in every day practise situations .The background theories of Acute Stress Disorder are dealt with in three chapters ,two chapters deal with assessment and the remaining deal with management.Included in the appendix are the Acute Stress Disorder Interview and Acute Stress Disorder Scale which may be helpful to anyone involved in research.In addition to the tools listed in the appendix other assesment tools are also discussed . Overall however an excellent book which I am pleased to say was an easy read and most informative.
