Summary: Trends in the Know-how of stress-related disorders.
Review: This book is part of a series of personality-guided psychotherapy manuals having an editor such as Theodore Millon. Millon has received the 2003 Award for Distinguished Professional Contribution to Applied Research from the American Psychological Association. This information may appear tangential. However, those who are familiar with the extensive and prolific work of Millon, should probably be aware that not much of the knowledge produced in the domain of Personality Disorders has been more enlightening and revealing than Millon's work.
Well, this book's authors have learned well Millon's lesson, and have treated us with a sublime work on stress-related disorders, PTSD, and know-how for its treatment and therapy.The book is well-written, and very informative. Fascinating are the links to historic events, philosophical and mythological accounts of stress-related episodes drawn from the Hellenistic classical cultures as starting line. Let's not forget that the senior author is one of the leading experts in stress-related disorders. Thus, as critic as you might be, you will have a hard time trying to find something which is not covered in this work. In fact, the theoretical overview is so broad and tantalazing that you will be surprised how much there is we still didn't know. Last, but not least, the book has an extensive and great combination of clinical case-studies supporting both descriptions of the traumatic event per se, and its more adequate guided therapeutic interventions. I have read this book over a weekend. I don't regret it, as it has definitely been a very rewarding experience.
