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.
