Alternative Therapies for PTSD
This book surveys promising alternatives to CBT and prolonged exposure therapy that are easier for trauma survivors to tolerate. It explores their strengths and limitations and provides practical guidelines for implementation.
Development and Treatment of Ptsd
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) remains a significant mental health challenge, with a broad range of causes and complex influencing factors beyond traditional war-related trauma. Despite advancements in understanding, there is still controversy surrounding the efficacy of various treatment approaches, including both conventional methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and non-traditional techniques such as yoga and psychoactive drugs. This complexity highlights the need for a comprehensive resource that not only updates professionals on the latest research but also addresses the diverse causes and manifestations of PTSD, including social, racial, and economic factors. Developme...
Secondary Trauma
This book focuses on secondary trauma as distinct from other forms of psychological trauma and PTSD. While PTSD has garnered considerable attention in the literature, secondary trauma afflicts a far greater number of people. Secondary trauma refers to the spread of negative emotional and cognitive states from those who are traumatized to those who have close contact with these individuals. While PTSD and other forms of primary trauma can negatively alter one’s self-perception and result in a fearful distrust of one’s environment, secondary trauma taxes and drains one emotionally but often does not cause a weary distrust of the environment and negative self-view. The book delineates how, ...
The Psychology of Panic
Panic disorder is often confused with elevations of anxiety and what is often described as "anxiety attacks." However, panic is qualitatively different from these phenomena. Panic disorders or panic attacks are intense and usually brief episodes that have often come upon the sufferer as an extreme dread and fear of annihilation. Panic attacks are startling and often produce a sense of impending doom and fear of imminent disaster. They are associated with heart palpitations, dizziness, tingling of extremities, disorientation, and the urge to flee the present environment. During a panic attack, it is not unusual for the sufferer to act in ways that seem completely irrational and beyond the rea...
Burnout Syndrome - Characteristics and Interventions
Burnout is a relatively common yet poorly understood phenomenon that often results from relentlessly giving of oneself in the service of others. It has also been known to occur in non-human service work. When this giving of oneself becomes excessive, dysfunctional consequences can develop, such as emotional exhaustion, cynicism, depression, and withdrawal. A range of physical consequences can also develop, including high blood pressure, immune system depletion, and a wide range of physical ailments. This book details our evolving knowledge of burnout syndrome and addresses a variety of proposed interventions. These interventions can take place on individual, group, and organizational levels. The importance of burnout has been recently brought to light by depictions of the plight of healthcare workers who have been brought to the brink of exhaustion by the unrelenting demands made upon them by the COVID-19 pandemic. This book elucidates the nature of burnout and how we can best cope with it as individuals and as a society.
Suicide
The occurrence of suicide often startles those who knew the involved individual. The public often cannot believe that the person who committed suicide could have engaged in such a seemingly irrational and extreme act. Similarly, health agencies often find themselves at a loss as to what strategies or policies might be employed to stem the seemingly constant flow of suicide. This book carefully addresses sociological, psychological, and physiological factors that contribute to suicide. It also presents strategies that might be employed to reduce suicide by way of public policies, psychotherapeutic strategies, and neurophysiological interventions.
Psychological Evaluation of the Developmentally and Physically Disabled
The past decade has witnessed a considerable upsurge of clinical and research interest in the problems of developmentally and physically the fields of psychology, disabled persons. Indeed, professionals from special education, rehabilitation, psychiatry, and social work have all directed attention to the development and implementation of evaluation and remedial programs. The heightened activity in this area is in part a result of early assessment research with these popUlations, which provided preliminary evidence of difficulties in social and emotional adjustment in many disabled individuals. In response to these findings, many intervention efforts have been implemented to deal with these i...

Trust and Distrust In Organizations
The effective functioning of a democratic society—including social, business, and political interactions—largely depends on trust.

Cook have compiled the most important research on trust in organizations, illuminating the complex nature of how trust develops, functions, and often is thwarted in organizational settings. With contributions from social psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists, and organizational theorists, the volume examines trust and di...
