Description
Why do some people seem to bounce back from trauma and tragedy, while others suffer long-lasting and crippling traumatic disability syndromes? What are the keys to triumphing over trauma?
In Shocks to the System, Laurence Miller offers a practical clinical guide for therapists who work with patients traumatized by:
criminal assaults
traffic accidents
toxic exposure
natural and man-made disasters
terrorist attacks
industrial injuries
sexual harassment
brain injury and chronic pain
workplace violence
law enforcement and emergency services stress
This book also addresses the legal, family, economic, and social issues surrounding traumatic disability syndromes. Shocks to the System is a unique and comprehensive resource for therapists entering what will surely become a rapidly expanding and challenging field of clinical practice in the decades ahead.
