Norton & Company, 2000 Finally................................ After 26 years of thinking, "I should be over it", I now know its part of my body, not just my brain. I remember yelling out loud, THATS IT, and thinking I felt better immediately. I wasn't a loser, basket case mental job, but "my body remembers".

Thank ...             The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook22 reviews Glenn R. Schiraldi McGraw-Hill, 2009 A Huge Help!! This book helped me to realize that I was not crazy. I was in a car accident in 2006 where I had to helplessly watch my friend die right in front of me. I was not injured in the wreck which caused me lots of guilt.

At Clem's party I had been reminded of the promiscuous way in which American doctors circumcise males in childhood, a practice I highly disapprove of...it constitutes, in [an] advertiser's phrase, 'a rape of the penis'. Until the forties, only the upper or educated classes were circumcised in America. The REAL people ...             I Can Still Hear Their Cries, Even In My Sleep: A Journey Into PTSD17 reviews E Everett McFall Outskirts Press, 2007 A Must Read !!!! Being the wife of a combat Marine I really learned alot from Doc's book. I read the book all the way through and this is a book that is alive. Our heroes sacrifice so much for us and if it wasn't for them we would not have our freedom. Doc, thank you for helping me understand more about PTSD and what y'all went through. I don't give this book a 5 star rating , I give it a 10 star rating.             Invisible Heroes: Survivors of Trauma and How They Heal17 reviews BELLERUTH NAPARSTEK Bantam, 2004 Invisible Heroes is an important and useful book. I have just purchased my 6th & 7th copies of Invisible Heroes. The others have all been given to psychotherapy clients; survivors of several kinds of traumatic experience. Trauma survivors find this book instructive and comforting -- they read and re-read it. Sometimes we make recordings of the imagery and meditations, sometimes they purchase those Belleruth has made so beautifully.             Over My Head: A Doctor's Own Story of Head Injury from the Inside Looking Out60 reviews Claudia L. Osborn Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000 Brain Fog Unfogged -- A Feat in Communication Osborn does what is virtually impossible. She translates the fog of a damaged brain's function into vignettes that an undamaged brain can comprehend. In her case, this translation is from experiences which were by definition wordless, disorganized, incomprehensible, frightening and often completely mindless to their opposites. The level of Dr. Osborn's skill in doing this may be best ...             The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog: And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook: What Traumatized ...19 reviews Bruce D.

Easy to read and helpful for understanding the process of EMDR. I would have to agree with the previous reviewer Laura M that PEACEFUL HEART : A Woman's Journey to Healing is a must-read. Aimee Jo Martin's story clearly illustrates and details her journey with successful EMDR treatments. Quite powerful if you want to really see how effective EMDR can be.             Trauma Zone10 reviews R.

Wow! I am at a near loss for words. I received Beyond Peleliu 2 days ago from Amazon and finished it last night. I must say that I had a hard time sleeping after finishing the book.

Kates Holbrook Street Pr, 1999 One of the most helpful books for police officers! I have been working with police officers and their families for over 20 years and have debriefed over 800 officers who have been involved in critical incidents. COPSHOCK is perhaps one of the most comprehensive and helpful books for police officers. I like the way Mr. Kates breaks down the stressors and topics. For example, there is one chapter just on "flashbacks." The book is written in ...             The Souvenir: A Daughter Discovers Her Father's War17 reviews Louise Steinman North Atlantic Books, 2008 AN EXCELLENT READ AND A WORK VERY WELL DONE! Like so many in my generation, the author, like the rest of us, really had no clue as to what made her father tick. These men, and women, of the "Greatest Generation" were a different breed. I had to blink twice when the author described her father, his attitudes, work ethic, treatment of his family and on and on. She could have well been describing my own father. The author, after her ...             Winged Creatures: A Novel13 reviews Roy Freirich St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 real literature How great is it to read real literature again?
