Evolution and Posttraumatic Stress provides a valuable new perspective on its nature and causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to examine PTSD from an evolutionary perspective. Beginning with a review of conventional theories, Chris Cantor provides a clear and succinct overview of the history, clinical features and epidemiology of PTSD before going on to introduce and integrate evolutionary theory. Subjects discussed include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe evolution of human defensive behaviours \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clinical perspective of PTSD \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefence in overdrive: evolution, PTSD and parsimony \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis original presentation of PTSD as a defensive strategy describes how the use of evolutionary theory provides a more coherent and successful model for diagnosis, greatly improving understanding of usually mystifying symptoms. It will be of great interest to psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, and anthropologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Cantor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583917713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583917718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.88w x 0.72d","brand":"Chris Cantor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088590385407,"sku":"9781583917718","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ceb912b9-0886-4d15-9317-66da343c884f.jpg?v=1769105617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evolution-and-posttraumatic-stress-chris-cantor-9781583917718","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
