This volume brings together a wide range of
authors to present the historical development of,
and current approaches to, the treatment of the
ongoing effects of traumatic experience. The 25
chapters address the historical developments,
acute reactions to and adaptation to trauma,
the mechanisms of memory, social and cultural
issues and, most importantly, treatment.
Recent developments in treatment are critically
reviewed, including reference to the popular
Eye Movement Desensitisation. This is a show more book
for those looking for serious theoretical and
research perspectives that might underpin
professional practice. show less
