Description
Frank Ochberg - one of the pioneers in the field - has brought together nationally and internationally recognized experts who have treated thousands of victims in such subspecialty areas as rape, incest and battering, as well as Vietnam veterans and refugees. They provide a wealth of knowledge about Post-Traumatic Therapy (PTT) within these populations. PTT is not just a series of techniques but a clinical philosophy that requires empathic understanding of the victim, collaboration between therapist and client, and recognition of empowerment as a therapeutic tool. PTT centers on stress and coping, focuses on the strengths of the victim, and is integrative with respect to biological, psychological and social fears.
