Healing the Trauma of Domestic Violence

The book opens with a description of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a self-diagnostic tool that helps readers figure out whether or not they are actually suffering from PTSD. Then, chapter-by-chapter, it delves into specific problems associated with the disorder. Worksheets reinforce the messages in the text. In addition to addressing the symptoms of PTSD, the book offers strategies you can employ when and if a confrontation with the abusive partner becomes necessary.
