Midwest Book Review
Assessing Psychological Trauma And PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is organized in three broad sections. The first section introduces the assessment of traumatic stress syndromes, covering theories, standardized measures, and physiological techniques. Topics include civilian self-reports, psychological features of adults abused as children, physiological factors of PTSD assessment, and psychometric theory. Context specific traumatic reactions of victim and survivor populations comprise the next area of focus. A wide range examples are presented from health, personal, and military spheres: epidemiological methodology and the connections between trauma and medical illnesses; gender-specific issues as well as cross-cultural and multiethnic elements; the assessment of children, couples, families, and the bereaved; and PTSD as experienced by those in military life. The third section highlights a wide range of techniques for assessing traumatic reactions, dissociation, and PTSD, including event scales, the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire, the SCID, neuropsychological measures, clinical interviews, thematic elements, and the Rorschach. The result of painstaking research and scholarship Assessing Psychological Trauma And PTSD is a benchmark publication in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and social work.

Review
"This sophisticated text admirably achieves its main purpose--to provide an authoritative and accessible overview of the principles of assessment of trauma and reactions to traumatic events. Clinical researchers and therapists will find that self-completed questionnaires, clinical and structured interviews, and psychophysiological measures are subjected to the same rigorous analysis. The result is to provide an up-to-date evaluation of assessment approaches which will be invaluable in improving both services and research in relation to trauma." --William Yule, PhD, Professor of Applied Child Psychology, University of London Institute of Psychiatry
"John Wilson and Terence Keane have assembled the best experts on assessment of trauma and PTSD who provide a comprehensive overview of psychometric theory, of the many instruments that have evolved during the past ten years, of methodological issues pertaining to the act of measurement itself, and of specific concerns in assessment of specific populations (e.g., gender, children, cross-cultural considerations, etc.). Given current questions about the adequacy of a conceptual approach that views PTSD as the only officially approved post-traumatic syndrome, the book explores measurement issues concerning relevant post-traumatic symptoms that fall outside strict DSM-IV criteria for PTSD such as dissociation, 'complex PTSD,' and trauma related disorders in medical settings. Each chapter contains a thoughtful, conceptually driven discussion about pertinent assessment issues as well as a rigorous evaluation of potentially appropriate instruments. In short, this is the authoritative text on assessment of trauma and PTSD. It should enable investigators to rigorously operationalize just what they seek to measure and to understand why one instrument might be better suited for this task than another." --Matthew J. Friedman, MD, PhD, Executive Director, National Center for PTSD, Department of Veterans Affairs; Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology, Dartmouth (VT) Medical School
