Author Description

A discussion of the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress. It shows that it is not just crash and accident victims that suffer this, but a wide range of ordinary individuals at work and at home who suddenly find their lives turned upside down by traumatic events. Eva Roman and Roger Le Duc-Barnett demonstrate how everyone should be aware of the problem and the potential remedies. Areas covered include: how to recognise the symptoms; what the causes of trauma are; the consequences of failing to help; the process of assessment; different types of treatment; and case studies.
