This plain-language guide is for family and friends of those affected by posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by any kind of trauma, including accidents, natural disasters, war, and sexual or non-sexual assault. The guide explains how trauma affects the survivor and describes treatments that can help with PTSD, with advice on finding a therapist. One section of the book is devoted to taking care of the care-taker, setting limits, and communicating needs. Several chapters focus on coping with specific traumas. On the positive side, there is material on reconnecting with partners, helping children of survivors, and the positive changes that can occur in PTSD survivors. A 12-page resource section offers an annotated list of organizations in the US and around the world. Zayfert directs the Anxiety Disorders Service at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. DeViva is a clinical psychologist in the Veterans Affairs Connecticut Health Care System. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
