Emotion in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by Matthew Tull

Emotion in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder by Matthew Tull

Emotion in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder provides an up-to-date review of the empirical research on the relevance of emotions, such as fear, anxiety, shame, guilt, and disgust to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It also covers emerging research on the psychophysiology and neurobiological underpinnings of emotion in PTSD, as well as the role of emotion in the behavioral, cognitive, and affective difficulties experienced by individuals with PTSD. It concludes with a review of evidence-based treatment approaches for PTSD and their ability to mitigate emotion dysfunction in PTSD, including prolonged exposure, cognitive processing therapy, and acceptance-based behavioral therapy.

"As an inpatient psychiatrist, I am exposed to many patients with significant traumasI appreciate how this book explains in such detail the different emotions related to PTSD. As I read the chapters I was able to identify these emotions in the different patients with whom I have worked, but I realize I did not appreciate the nuances of the specific emotion when I was interviewing the particular patient. This book truly succeeds greatly in its ability to describe emotions, but future editions would benefit by including more graphics and illustrations to help readers grasp the presented material. Further, a chapter focusing on pharmacological treatments would also be helpful." --Doody
