Praise for Clinician’s Guide to Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder

‘Rosen and Frueh’s important book takes a huge leap toward
clarity. The chapters are authored by leading experts in the field,
and each addresses one of the pressing issues of the day. The tone
is sensible and authoritative throughout, but always with a
thoughtful ear toward clinical concerns and implications.’

–George A. Bonanno, Ph D Professor of Clinical
Psychology Teachers College, Columbia University

‘All clinicians and researchers dealing with anxiety disorders
should have a copy of Rosen and Frueh’s Clinician’s Guide to
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder on their shelves. Moreover, they
should read it from cover to cover. This compilation . . . is
authoritative, very readable, and extremely well crafted. The
issues are looked at from many vantage points, including assessment
and treatment, cross-cultural, cognitive, and
categorical/political.’

Anxiety Disorders Dean, School of Professional Psychology,
Pacific University
