Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook
by Glenn R. Schiraldi
buy the book $19
Reader Comment:
"When I read the first section: "About PTSD" I was practically reading my own journal. Word for word, experience for experience Glenn Schiraldi shed light on the constant symptoms of trauma that I experience from day to day (from child abuse, rape, sexual torture, and car accidents). I realized in reading this book that I am not crazy, my reactions are normal given the trauma I have endured, and there is a way to heal and transcend all of it."
