Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781420500028)

Oregon State Trooper Nic Cederberg told reporter Chris Hansen of Crime Watch Daily that each and every night, he is murdered in his sleep. He is recounting the ordeal in which he was shot thirteen times on Christmas night, and left for dead by his assailant. Traumatic events of this nature impart a seemingly inescapable disturbance on the victim that remains long after the event is over. 70 percent of Americans will be exposed to a traumatic event in their lifetime, and of those people, up to 20 percent will go on to develop P.T.S.D. This essential guidebook explains this condition, what causes it, and how it is treated. It examines how it is managed in the frontlines of war, and what the outlook is for its sufferers.
