Review by: Suzanne Grosser on Oct. 27, 2012 : (no rating)
The book provides a good overview of PTSD, including treatments. The chapter on how PTSD affects the brain was new material to me and very interesting. The list of resources at the end is a great starting point for finding the help you need.
