Product Description
Review
"Michael Scott has penned a thoughtful, accessible and easily readable book for trauma survivors. It will act as an excellent guide for survivors, their families and can be used by the individual instead of therapy, as they await therapy or as a workbook to accompany their therapy. It is grounded in the Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) approach and flows easily from helping people understand their experiences and problems after trauma, to managing then treating their problems and symptoms. In giving individuals practical solutions and a range of options it allows control to be regained. Moving on after Trauma offers options for the reader to do exactly that; move on following traumatic experience." - Dr Alastair Hull, Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy, NHS Tayside, UK
"Michael Scott has produced an excellent book that should be of immense value to sufferers of PTSD and their relatives. I particularly like its clear link with theory and evidence and it is replete with useful case examples. Scott’s extensive clinical experience in dealing with these problems is evident in his thorough and sensitive handling of the topic. Packed full of strategies and tips for dealing effectively with trauma symptoms and associated problems this book should be at the top of a sufferers self-help list." – Adrian Wells, University of Manchester, UK
"This valuable guide explains the puzzling and disturbing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and what to do about them. There is a wealth of practical wisdom, supported by many practical examples, that cannot fail to inform and help trauma victims and their families." - Chris Brewin, University College, London, UK
Product Description
The effects of extreme trauma can continue to be emotionally devastating. Moving On After Trauma offers hope, providing survivors, family members and friends with a roadmap for managing emotional, relationship, physical and legal obstacles to recovery. Dr Scott details examples of the strategies used by twenty characters who have recovered and the survivor (with or without the help of a family member, friend or counsellor) is encouraged to identify with one or more of them and follow in their footsteps.

Customer Reviews
In his latest book, Dr Mike Scott has taken trauma victims, their families, loved ones, friends and carers on a unique journey; helping them in a real and meaningful sense to be able to finally "move on after trauma".
Rather than attempting to deal solely with helping the victim recover from the direct effects of their situation; through his clinical expertise and in-depth understanding of the extended consequences and effects of trauma, Dr Scott has provided the means for all of those suffering these effects, to really regain their quality of life.
Although this book is of undoubted value to clinical practitioners in the fields of post-traumatic stress and counselling; the real delight of this book is that it has been written in such an friendly, easily accessible manner, that it will appeal to those suffering from the effects of trauma and stress who are looking for the means to help themselves and regain control over their lives!
The book itself contains twenty different case studies dealing with a panoply of traumatic situations and the methods used in each case to readjust to normality. Using the Cognitive Behavioural approach, Dr Scott provides simple, but effective tasks to build up in a structured way towards enabling people to see the real value to be had from re-investing in life!
Sadly, not all victims of trauma, will necessarily have someone to help them cope, to urge them to make an effort to become the person they once were and to see the value of moving on, but even without that support, by reading through this book, they will be able to see that recovery is possible and is within reach!
This is an outstanding gem of a book which I am delighted to have in my library!
This book should be read by every GP and 'prescribed' to patients struggling with the horrendous consequences of Trauma. It will also be of immense value to those working with Children and Vulnerable Adults, due to the knowledge and awareness skills to be gleaned from it in relation to signs and symptoms of Trauma.
