What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"This high-quality, broad-ranging volume. . . provid[es]authoritative, factual information about psychological trauma… needed to inform media reports, fictional representations, public opinion, political and governmental laws and policies, and the educational system for people across the life span, and in scientific and professional efforts to assist trauma survivors.  This informative collection is a “must-read” for all those interested in understanding psychological trauma."
Annette M. La Greca, University of Miami Editor, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, Journal of Traumatic Practice, and many other peer review journals

"With contributions from many national experts, this user-friendly comprehensive volume is a must for clinicians, researchers, and educators working in the area of trauma."
Betty Pfefferbaum, M.D., J.D. Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Director, Terrorism and Disaster Center of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network

"The Encyclopedia of Psychological Trauma (EPT) is an imposing volume that covers an impressively comprehensive constellation of topics. The intense effort the editors have invested in recruiting top experts in a broad range of specialty areas and ensuring top quality content is evident throughout. Professionals whose work is related to psychological trauma will undoubtedly find EPT to be an invaluable tool that they will want to keep within easy reach, whether to quickly absorb a subject that is new to them or to review an already familiar area."
Steven N. Gold, PhD, Professor, Center for Psychological Studies Director, Trauma Resolution & Integration Program (TRIP) Nova Southeastern University

"This comprehensive volume does a remarkable job of bringing together scholarly summaries about the vast array of issues pertaining to the study of traumatic events and their psychological consequences. The chapters are worthy stand-alone contributions, but even better, together they provide a state-of-the-science summary of the field that should be of interest to novices and experts alike."
Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH, Professor of Epidemiology, School of Public Health Research Professor, Institute for Social Research University of Michiga
