This is the first comprehensive clinical text on acute stress disorder (ASD) since its
introduction into the DSM-IV in 1994. The authors outline the rationale and
techniques to prevent the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by
identifying and treating those with ASD. Drawing from their clinical research
experience, they review the underlying theoretical issues, present a step-by-step
guide to assessing and treating ASD, and detail the procedures for using cognitive
behavior therapy to treat ASD, illustrating the application of techniques with clinical
examples. Ethical and legal issues are discussed as is the treatment of specific
populations, including emergency workers, children, and victims of prolonged trauma.
