| Book Description | The diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has increasingly been the focus of clinicians' attention when treating patients after stressful life events. This book addresses the needs and interests of practicing clinicians who need access to the findings and concerns researchers and policy makers have about PTSD. Bringing together a distinguished and international list of contributors including Edna Foa and Robert Spitzer, this book is filled with case studies and highlights important issues and treatment, providing clinicians with a sound conceptual understanding of posttraumatic stress disorder. |
| Editorial Review | Contributors to this impressive collection include Robert Spitzer, one of the architects of DSM-III, and Jerome C. Wakefield and Allan V. Horwitz, authors of The Loss of Sadness: How Psychiatry Transformed Normal Sorrow into Depressive Disorder (Oxford University Press, 2007)... It is ironic that research spurred by the introduction of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has come to challenge almost every aspect of the construct's originating assumptions. These issues are carefully discussed: the idea of a specific aetiology; the distinctiveness of the supposed core symptoms; the loosening of the stressor criterion, which editor Gerald Rosen calls 'criterion creep'... Without a coherent position on the question of specific aetiology, the validity of PTSD rests largely on the distinctiveness of its clinical syndrome, yet its features overlap substantially with other psychiatric categories... This book interrogates the construction of PTSD and can serve as a case example of the way to critique the construction of psychiatric knowledge across the whole field. (Derek Summerfield, The British Journal of Psychiatry, 2011, 199:347) |
