Michael Scott has penned a thoughtful, accessible and easily readable book for trauma survivors. It will act as an excellent guide for survivors, their families and can be used by the individual instead of therapy, as they await therapy or as a workbook to accompany their therapy. It is grounded in the Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) approach and flows easily from helping people understand their experiences and problems after trauma, to managing then treating their problems and symptoms. In giving individuals practical solutions and a range of options it allows control to be regained. Moving on after Trauma offers options for the reader to do exactly that; move on following traumatic experience. - Dr Alastair Hull, Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy, NHS Tayside, UK
Michael Scott has produced an excellent book that should be of immense value to sufferers of PTSD and their relatives. I particularly like its clear link with theory and evidence and it is replete with useful case examples. Scott's extensive clinical experience in dealing with these problems is evident in his thorough and sensitive handling of the topic. Packed full of strategies and tips for dealing effectively with trauma symptoms and associated problems this book should be at the top of a sufferers self-help list. - Adrian Wells, University of Manchester, UK
This valuable guide explains the puzzling and disturbing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and what to do about them. There is a wealth of practical wisdom, supported by many practical examples, that cannot fail to inform and help trauma victims and their families. - Chris Brewin, University College, London, UK
