This book reviews the entire
spectrum of neurobiological stress responses from normal to pathological
reactions. The volume is divided into five sections, each of which is
preceded by a brief overview: from molecules to behavior--stress in
laboratory animals; models of the impact of stress of brain function;
adaptive and maladaptive responses to stress in humans; clinical issues
(i.e., diagnosis and treatment of PTSD); and summary, including
speculation on the significance and implications of the work presented
for future research and treatment. Heavily referenced. Annotation

Book Description
This groundbreaking volume is the most thorough and up-to-date
exploration of the laboratory, clinical, and theoretical aspects of
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related stress disorders ever
published. The book reviews the entire spectrum of stress
responses--from normal to pathological reactions--and brings together
the very latest results from basic and clinical research. It provides
for the first time critical, authoritative information that will help in
the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD.This comprehensive volume provides
an invaluable historical and conceptual framework by which to understand
post-traumatic stress disorder, emphasizing throughout the homology
between the normal stress response and the pathophysiology of PTSD. The
book is divided into four major sections that logically progress from
basic neurobiological research on stress to neurobiological models of
stress and PTSD to specific research on PTSD and clinical issues
regarding diagnosis and treatment.
