Synopsis:
According to statistics from the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (NCPTSD), about 6 people out of every 100 experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at some point in their lives. PTSD is a fear that is developed after any traumatic event, such as rape, military combat, childhood neglect or abuse, an accident, natural disaster, personal tragedy, or violence. About 8 of every 100 women (8%) and 4 of every 100 men (4%) will have PTSD at some point in their life. This is partly due to the types of traumatic events that women are more likely to experience, such as sexual assault, compared to men. Therefore, coping with trauma and the steps that one should take to overcome it are necessary. PTSD and Coping with Trauma Sourcebook, Second Edition provides information about PTSD basics and coping with different types of trauma. Readers will learn about brain and mental health, genetic risk factors, their impact on the family, as well as statistics on PTSD in the United States. Moreover, readers will get to know about clinical studies and research on PTSD and co-occurring conditions, resilience after trauma and its treatment, and prevention along with suggestions for a glossary of terms related and a directory of additional resources.
