It is not only a mustread but a must-use both by those suffering with PTSD and by practitioners who work with those who suffer from the ravages of war. I have found it useful both personally and in my practice of treating those who have experienced many forms of trauma. Because of the complex presentation of PTSD, this handbook should be considered a "tool box." It provides personal vignettes<br /> and multiple guides to manage the multitude of symptoms associated with PTSD. It has been an honor to review this work for I see it as great resource for all who suffer from and all who treat PTSD.<br /> --Brian J. Masterson, MD, MPH, FACP, FACLP<br /> Col, USAF (Ret.), MC, CFS, <br /> FMR Commander, AF Theater Hospital, Balad, Iraq, 2006-2007, <br /> Psychiatry & Internal Medicine</p><p>What a gem of a book! Reversing the Trauma of War is a gift of hope for veterans and their families whose lives are compromised by trauma and PTSD. While the clear, step-by-step mental imagery exercises are very user-friendly, don't let the simplicity fool you: the practices are grounded in the most recent cutting-edge research to effectively rewire the brain and regulate the nervous system. In my work as a psychotherapist, this book is a valued resource in my practice toolbox, and for my clients.<br /> Leslie Davenport, MA, MS, LMFT<br /> Faculty, California Institute of Integral Studies;<br /> editor, Transformative Imagery</p><p>Brilliant! The book is amazingly well written, communicates effectively at the appropriate level, is well organized, and includes terrific case studies, great dialogue, and an array of practical exercises that boggle the mind in their variety, cleverness, and detail. I recommend it to everyone -- laypersons, undergraduates, mental health professionals, and your next-door neighbor.<br /> Alan S. Kaufman, PhD<br /> Clinical Professor of Psychology, <br /> Yale University, School of Medicine, Child Study Center</p><p><br /> What Kahaney and Epstein have achieved is unique. Weaving together an understanding of combat PTSD, personal stories, and an easily accessible guide to self-care and resolution, they offer healing through the simple and powerful tool of mental imagery. A remarkably practical book, the authors break down common themes of combat PTSD, offer simple explanations and provide mental imagery "recipes" that one can easily understand and use<br /> immediately.<br /> Randy Kasper, LCSW, PhD<br /> Director, School of Imagery & Health;<br /> Professor of Social Work, California State University</p><br>
