Description:
As Dr. Mark Goulston tells his patients who suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), "The fact that you?re
still afraid doesn?t mean you?re in any danger. It just
takes the will and the way for your heart and soul to accept what
the logical part of your mind already knows." In Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder For Dummies, Dr. Goulston helps you find the
will and shows you the way.
