The text is comprehensive and covers the diagnosis and treatment of the full spectrum of post-traumatic states. It addresses specific issues in relation to counselling clients who have suffered major trauma and includes detailed case examples together with transcripts of sessions.
The book is an invaluable aid and essential text for both novice and experienced therapists working with trauma victims. It is also accessible enough to be of use to laypersons who have encountered traumatic experience and may need help.
The author shows how NLP techniques can be used in the field of PTSD to achieve therapeutic outcomes, and a range of different 'major disorder' responses to PTSD are considered.
The book is particularly helpful for healthcare practitioners because it considers the direct application of NLP techniques to therapeutic situations.
Problematic issues in relation to treatment and recovery and PTSD are highlighted and dealt with competently.
The author specifically considers the nature of the 'freeze' response to trauma and examines in detail the psychological effect traumatic events can have on an individual, taking the reader step by step through each stage of the process of understanding and recovery.
