A Trauma Book That Says What Needs to Be Said,
By J. Curtis McMillen (St. Louis MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Response to Disaster: Psychosocial, Community, and Ecological Approaches (Series in Clinical and Community Psychology) (Paperback)
This terrific edited book is aimed at a pretty small audience: disaster and trauma professionals. The book's chapters range widely in content and sophistication. The highlights are the chapters of no-holds barred, naming names, well-deserved criticisms of the profit-motivated trauma treatments of the day: EMDR, Field Thought Therapy and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. These are important views that won't get published in the professional journals. The chapters on trauma theories are less engaging, but largely cutting-edge. Some of the other chapters, such as the one on assessing the impact of trauma in work-related populations, focused more on technical sophistication than on having something meaty to say. If you are a trauma professional, you should find several chapters to justify the purchase price. But this is not a book for a general audience.
