Stressing that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) should not be treated solely as an intrapsychic process, two UK psychologists explain theoretical conceptualizations and applications of counseling to treat this response to traumas of diverse sorts. Offering a refinement of the traditional cognitive-behavioral model, they include case examples, assessment inventories, and information on specific PTSD patient populations (e.g., children, refugees). Scott is a consulting psychologist; Stradling is a psychology professor at Napier U. This is an update of the 1992 and 2001 editions, each of which has appeared in reprints.
