{"product_id":"culture-and-ptsd-devon-e-hinton-9780812247145","title":"Culture and Ptsd: Trauma in Global and Historical Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the 1970s, understanding of the effects of trauma, including flashbacks and withdrawal, has become widespread in the United States. As a result Americans can now claim that the phrase posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is familiar even if the American Psychiatric Association's criteria for diagnosis are not. As embedded as these ideas now are in the American mindset, however, they are more widely applicable, this volume attempts to show, than is generally recognized. The essays in \u003ci\u003eCulture and PTSD\u003c\/i\u003e trace how trauma and its effects vary across historical and cultural contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture and PTSD\u003c\/i\u003e examines the applicability of PTSD to other cultural contexts and details local responses to trauma and the extent they vary from PTSD as defined in the American Psychiatric Association's \u003ci\u003eDiagnostic and Statistical Manual\u003c\/i\u003e. Investigating responses in Peru, Indonesia, Haiti, and Native American communities as well as among combat veterans, domestic abuse victims, and adolescents, contributors attempt to address whether PTSD symptoms are present and, if so, whether they are a salient part of local responses to trauma. Moreover, the authors explore other important aspects of the local presentation and experience of trauma-related disorder, whether the Western concept of PTSD is known to lay members of society, and how the introduction of PTSD shapes local understandings and the course of trauma-related disorders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy attempting to determine whether treatments developed for those suffering PTSD in American and European contexts are effective in global settings of violence or disaster, \u003ci\u003eCulture and PTSD\u003c\/i\u003e questions the efficacy of international responses that focus on trauma. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Carmela Alc疣tara, Tom Ball, James K.
