Post-traumatic therapy and victims of violence

Ochberg, Frank M. "Post-traumatic therapy." Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training 28.1 (1991): 5. Brunner/Mazel Psychosocial Stress Series: This is an unusual and valuable book. The editor, Frank M. Ochberg, M.D., has been a pioneer in the study of victims of violence. As his understanding has deepened over the years, he has turned his attention to the treatment of such victims. This book focuses on a wide variety of victims and treatment methods. This volume about therapy for victims of violence is addressed primarily to clinicians--practitioners of the healing arts. <...> Examples include family therapy for incest situations, hypnotherapy for trauma survivors, and crisis intervention for victims of sexual assault. We expect both generalists and specialists to read this book and have designed the content and format accordingly. "Eventually we will have a diagnosis of victim stress disorder based on clinical evidence and treatment paradigms. Until then, clinicians must apply the officially recognized diagnostic categories that best fit each individual victim. When victimization is severe, PTSD will usually be the appropriate diagnosis." ---- Also see: [Plenum Se
