Critics Review
The book offers a snapshot of a relatively young field ofpsychiatric research, revealing important advances and the gaps that remainin our knowledge… . The treatment of trauma survivors is a complex,challenging, and often politicized topic. Although more empirical evidenceis needed to guide treatment decisions, clinicians will have to continuetreating trauma survivors even in the absence of badly needed studies. Thusa dialogue between the researchers and the clinicians will help maketreatment decisions as informed as possible and will help make the researchmore clinically relevant. The goal of this book, as stated in theintroduction, is to initiate such a dialogue, and the authors have donetheir part. Now, it is the reader’s turn.
– Israel Liberzon, M.D. * New England Journal of Medicine *This is an excellent contribution to the material on PTSD.The content is directed to diagnosis and treatment, making it verypractical. The busy clinician already versed in treating PTSD throughexperience will appreciate the clear and critical presentation of researchon the topic. Five Stars!
* Doody’s Health Science Book Review Journal *This thoughtful volume contains much to admire.Conscientious readers will be struck by how much they didn’t know, or didn’tthink about, in the treatment of trauma survivors… . I believe stronglythat this book will prove a valuable resource from which advanced trainees(in the various mental health disciplines) as well as experiencedpractitioners and scientists can construct a more efficacious approach totheir work with trauma survivors.
– Howard B. Roback, Ph.D. * Journal of Clinical Psychiatry *Offering a wonderful collection of timely essays isTreating Trauma Survivors With PTSD, edited by Rachel Yehuda, awell-known researcher and clinician in the area of PTSD and director of thedivision of traumatic stress at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New YorkCity. Contributors include Edna B. Foa Ph.D., Alexander C. McFarlane M.D.,and Bessel A. van der Kolk M.D. One of the most refreshing dimensions ofthis volume is the two chapters on matching patients to treatment modality.In an age when even clinicians-let alone laypersons who have been led toexpect one-session cures from untested treatments-may take aone-size-fits-all approach to treatment, research indicates that such anapproach is bound to fail.
