The new DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD and Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) are discussed, in depth, in Chapters 2 and 6, respectively. In addition, updated tables listing instruments for assessing diagnosis and symptom severity are cited and annotated in seven appendices, as in previous editions. Chapters 3-5 have been revised to keep pace with the ever-expanding literature on treatment of PTSD. This is especially true in Chapter 4 where, in addition to a focus on evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT and other individual psychosocial treatments (e.g. eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR), the growing literature is presented on couples, family, group and school-based treatments for adults, children and adolescents. Chapter 5 reviews the pathophysiology of PTSD and evidence-based pharmacotherapy for the disorder. Chapter 6 addresses both normal acute stress reactions and clinically significant ASD, as well as effective interventions for each. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive, sophisticated, practical reference for all clinicians, \u003ci\u003ePosttraumatic and Acute Stress Disorders, 6th Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource designed to guide the best clinical attention for individuals suffering from posttraumatic an\u003c\/p\u003ed acute stress disorders.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA handy, easy-to-read reference for the diag-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enosis and treatment of posttraumatic and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eacute stress disorders, this important 6th\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e edition has been revised and updated exten-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esively, offering a wealth of new information \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein a concise format.
