Has anyone used the PTSD workbook? Comments?
Thanks for posting these.

I've never used the PTSD workbook, but my friend actually just bought it and she is finding it helpful I believe, others have found it helpful as well.

The only ones I've read is Body Remembers: The Psychophysiology of Trauma and Trauma Treatment and the Trauma and Recovery book.

I have read the PTSD/Borderlines In Therapy one! I have it, too! It was very helpful to me.

Another one I really liked was Traumatic Stress by van der Kolk et al. It is LONG though, like 600 pages! So I hope you like to read, if you pick it!

Trauma and Recovery by Judith Lewis Herman ...

...has been a great help to me in my 'recovery' (my trauma was caused by being trapped (literally) in a mentally, physically and sexually abusive relationship.

My recovery was also helped by my reading up about PTSD induced by other causes, specifically Combat Stress (because I couldn't, and still can't, face up to the cause of my own trauma, so I read about others).
A War Of Nerves - soldiers and psychiatrists 1914-1994 by Ben Shephard.

I now do work for the charity Combat Stress whenever I can. That's therapeutic too.

It has for me as well, I need to re-read it though as I never completed the book.

The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization by O. van der Hart, E.R.S. Nijenhuis & Kathy Steele.

do u know any good ones that is the £ sign and not $ sign?

I'm not in the UK so that is why I never posted currencey etc.

But you if you have Amazon or another online bookstore (which I know the UK does) you can look up the titles there for the change in prices.

i dont know what book is the best to pick up, i dont wanna pick up the book and then get into it and its the wrong book to read.
