POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: From Neurobiology to Treatment presents a comprehensive look at this key neuropsychiatric disorder. The text examines the neurobiological basis of posttraumatic stress and how our understanding of the basic elements of the disease has informed and been translated into new and existing treatment options. The book begins with a section on animal models in posttraumatic stress disorder research, which have served as the basis of much of our neurobiological information. Chapters then delve into applications of the clinical neuroscience of posttraumatic stress disorder. The final part of the book explores treatments and the way in which our basic and clinical research is now being converted into treatment methods. Taking a unique basic science to translational intervention approach, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: From Neurobiology to Treatment is an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and clinicians dealing with this complex disorder.
