Overview

Using examples from his experience in clinical practice, Dr Davies investigates the causes of breakdown and the many sources of stress that exist today: bereavement, guilt, personality problems, sexual tensions and the perennial problem of anxiety. He examines the ways and means by which we can cope with different kinds of stress, and even learn to utilize stress well, demonstrating the value of modern medical knowledge, while recognising that some afflictions can only be healed spiritually. What Dr Davies seeks to do above all else, is to help restore the Christian mind to its proper place in our lives, to achieve a healthy balance by which we can overcome life’s many stresses. lt;brgt;lt;brgt; This is a book to encourage those suffering from breakdown or stress, prevent others from succumbing to it, and provide invaluable help to counsellors, and friends.

Overview

Post-traumatic stress disorder — aka PTSD or simply “trauma” — is a growing problem, with adults and children today affected by threats of terror; combat in the Middle East; and social, economic, and personal crises. It is a hidden disease affecting ten percent of the population — many whether they know it or not. This book explains how PTSD arises, how to recognize its effects, and how to stabilize and recover from it, focusing on three areas: how to cope, how to help children and other loved ones, and how to recover happiness. Based on 18 years of field experience and practice, the author provides specific suggestions for handling trauma reactions like anger, anxiety, and withdrawal; discusses how to work through long-term effects; and includes numerous case examples and guidelines for self-help. Accessible and timely, his book speaks to healthcare professionals, military families, and anyone seeking coping strategies in the current world climate.

EVM I have read many books and I find it very well written, easy to follow, but not condescending. Mrs. Kuehn said creates a good balance between technical competence and a good story. The examples are logical and based on realistic scenarios. I use this text for the Earned Value Professional (EVP) certification training 7.5 hours of examination, testing knowledge of Earned Value and I'm sure I was ready for testing. More important, because I was in this bookthe real problems that I face every day with the tasks perfromance balance, which is the project too ambitious, with the limited resources at my disposal.

Very Fullfilled – C. A. Smith – Atlanta
This book was incredibly full of filling. Dr. Rubenstein is a great read with real technology solutions and stimulating. I would recommend this book to anyone to manage and understand stress.I benefited enormously from this book.

Great book with powerful and practical solutions to stress – M. Bethel –
This book begins with a brief description of the experiences of their authors' with many stressful situations and how to overcome, which led to the book. One might think that I am stressed out, because I heard of someone else? I think it is an important element in understanding why their techniques are so reliable and useful, though. Reading the book is the first step, the next is actually the technique into practice in your life. Fortunatelyare simple, even when they are very effective. Although this book is several years, I would say that with certainty, that the wisdom contained in it is still very timely and appropriate.

Excellent Book – Walter L. Manns – Little Rock, AR
