Myths of Trauma is a timely and important book that probes the sensitive, emotional, and often controversial subject of trauma, the difficulties associated with its diagnosis, and the over-diagnosis of PTSD.
Myths of Trauma is essential reading for traumatologists and others who work with traumatized people.... Some people benefit from medication, but others do not respond to any type of therapy. To better understand these interactions, Paris calls for more longitudinal studies of people treated for trauma, with consideration for context and culture. This and other research suggestions are well stated and a highlight of this admirable book.
