• Summary:"Although the development and refinement of new constructs have helped advance the field of traumatology, the tasks of locating the most recent information and differentiating one construct from another can be daunting. In an effort to identify, condense, and consolidate information, this book clearly defines constructs such as stress, acute stress disorder, PTSD, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization. Each chapter provides an overview, a symptomatology chart, additional resources tailored to the individual construct, as well as guidance applicable to a variety of specialized helping professionals. A quick reference format and extensive reviews of the most up-to-date literature make this a tool for the assessment, treatment, and understanding of psychological injury across all the helping professions."--BOOK JACKET.
