Gender and PTSD
Paige Ouimette (Editor), Rachel Kimerling (Editor),
Jessica Wolfe (Editor)
ISBN: 1572307838
Booknews
Because the foundational conceptualizations of post
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were originally formulated
from the study of primarily male war veterans and primarily
female sexual assault victims, the study of PTSD is
inherently gendered, argue Kimerling (VA Palo Alto Healthcare
System), Ouimette (psychology, Washington State U.),
and Wolfe (psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and Boston
U. School of Medicine). They present 16 essays that
look at the epidemiology of PTSD; focus on the issue
of gender in the diagnostic category; address men's
and women's distinctive comorbid symptoms and degree
of comorbid pathology; examine relative efficacy of
treatment strategies; and look at future directions
in research and policy.

like the military deployment of a parent. Expert contributors provide guidelines
of setting up and running school-and clinic-based support groups; conducting brief
and longer-term interventions with individuals and families; and promoting healing
with art, music, and play. Grounded in the latest knowledge on stress and coping,
