Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

With contributors from 7 countries and more than 15 institutions, this book attempts to cover recent insights into posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from many vantage points. It begins with DSM-III, when the disorder was first formally defined, takes a biopsychosocial journey through state-of-theart treatment methodologies, and attempts to map the future course of this complex affliction.
