One of the best PTSD books I've read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coping with Trauma: A Guide to Self-understanding (Hardcover)
As a mental health practitioner, the book provides in depth explanations and information which provides clients with information and validation of symptoms and behaviors.
Unfortunately, not all clients will be able to understand the book because of some terminology. However, it is useful information which can be dicussed in session. As a person with PTSD, I found the book validating, informatiave, and positive. The author's tone throughout the book, is positive and hopeful. He answered questions I've had for years, but didn't ask.

If You Buy Nothing Else, Buy This,
By Suzanne Mckinley "evalu8er" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Trauma: A Guide to Self-understanding (Paperback)
Whether you are a professional working with trauma clients, a person who has undergone significant trauma, or the family member or friend of that person, you MUST get this book. Buy it because you will want to return to it again and again. Jon Allen writes with compassion and respect about the effects of trauma, both psychological and physiological. In addition, he writes with great humility from a tremendous knowledge base. The book is a great resource to read either from front to back, or in sections as they seem helpful. Every person I know who has read this book has gained significant insight. If this review seems effusive, it is because this book is that WELL WRITTEN and USEFUL. It reflects both the horror of trauma as well as the hope for recovery. It has set a new standard in understanding trauma and the recovery from trauma and is a must read for anyone who claims serious interest in the topic. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

Very Good,
By Cyndi Long - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coping with Trauma: A Guide to Self-understanding (Paperback)
This book is great for people who have at least a rudimentary understanding of psychology. I had a number of revelations while reading it, and my psychiatrist even borrowed it for a court case he had to appear in.I've suffered from PTSD for 25 years and found this book to be enlightening and informative. If you are unfamiliar with general psych terms, this book may not be the place to start--otherwise it's very good. |
