Booklist Review

Psycholgist Catherall, a Vietnam veteran, takes a holistic view of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and recovery, addressing the needs of victims and their significant others. He asserts also that not everyone receives, or may need, professional treatment. His long experience with the issue shows in the book's range and examples, from initial hurt to final healing. Combat stress, children, and the role of ritual are among the topics emphasized. Catherall's sensitivity to sex-role stereotypes, his practical approach, and his tone of encouragement make this guide accessible and helpful to those who are hurting, helping, or almost healed. ~--Virginia Dwyer
