The book is intended for psychotherapists, dramatherapists and other professionals working in the field of stress and trauma.
What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - who can be affected?; the importance of normalization in preventing breakdown; training and preparation in the reduction of risk of PTSD; debriefing - those involved in the incident, the debriefers; key concepts in the treatment of PTSD; the use of dramatherapy groups in the treatment of PTSD; the use of dramatherapy in the treatment of individuals suffering from PTSD; supervision and its importance.
Although written for a specialized minority, the book is clearly presented, so that the reality of what is being described is brought home to those of us who are strangers to PTSD and its clinical problems. For people who are involved in drama it is completely fascinating, however, because it shows how essential dramatic awareness is to our mental well-being.
