What Reviewers Said about Straight Talk about PTSD
by Kay Marie Porterfield
"I treat many young people who suffer PTSD and who have tried to cope with the effects of trauma through the abuse of
drugs and alcohol. Of particular help were the sections "un-demonizing" PTSD as a normal set of responses to traumatic experiences and the section involving the neurological and biochemical changes which occur and may endure as a result of trauma. These are helpful explanations for teens who need to feel in charge of themselves in their unpredictable and often terrifying worlds. I do not hesitate to give a copy of this book to young people in my practice where appropriate."
