PTSD Growth in Police, Military and Medical Professions Workbook offers an overview of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as the less familiar concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) to students and practitioners who work in high-stress fields such as the military, police, and medical professions.
This book takes a unique look at the sacrifices our heroes make through the lens of two veterans: a father (Will) and his son (Zac). From their perspective, this book navigates three valuable points of evidence through the science, its application, and the firsthand experiences of our veterans. It brings attention to the symptomatic and diagnostic challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as the encouraging evidence for Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG).
