{"product_id":"risk-factors-for-posttraumatic-stress-rachel-yehuda-9780880488167","title":"Risk Factors for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980's, the psychiatric community first officially recognized posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a diagnosis to describe the disorder that can occur following exposure to extremely traumatic events. Since that time, it have been observed that some patients who have been exposed to trauma do not develop PTSD or only have symptoms immediately following the event, whereas others show signs of chronic PTSD. Recently, it has been hypothesized that the development of chronic PTSD results from a combination of factors, only some of which are related to exposure to trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRisk Factors for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e assembles almost 20 experts to examine the latest research on this topic.
