أوجه عديدة من اضطراب مابعد الصدمة

الكتاب لسه مترجم جديد ٢٠١٩ واعتقد ان دى اول مرة اشترى كتاب مترجم جديد ومفيش اراء كتير عنه . انا كنت فى المكتبة وبلف وبشوف الكتب وشفت الكتاب ده فشدنى دورت عليه عالموقع بالعربى ملقيتوش دورت بالانجليزى لقيته بس مفيش ريفيوهات وتقييمات كتير ليه فسبته وكملت فى المكتبة ورجعتله تانى ومسكته وسبته وخرجت من المكتبة و اتمشيت وفى طريقى للبيت دخلت المكتبة تانى ومسكت الكتاب والمرادى اشتريته 😃. ايه علاقة ده كلة بالكتاب ؟ ولا حاجة شوية رغى وعشان الزهايمر ليا عشان بنسى 😁

الكتاب بيتكلم عن اضطراب مابعد الصدمة عن طريق ١٢ حالة مختلفة الاسباب والتاثير وبيحكى عن تجربة الناجى من الصدمة ومنها حالات تعرضت للعنف الأسرى او زنا المحارم او أساءة واهمال الوالدين او النرجسية الوالدية أوالحروب أو الاغتصاب . واعراض الاضطراب والخطة العلاجية والملفت للنظر بالنسبالى كان الحالة الاخيرة وهو الكاتبة نفسها واضطراب ضغوط مابعد الصدمة الثانوى وقصتها شخصيا و ان احيانا بيتأثر المعالج بما يسمع .

" ثمة يأس شديد يجعلك تشعر بالعجز .. كيف يمكن للمرء ان يقف موقف المتفرج وهو يشاهد مواقف مرعبة فى الحياة ؟ كيف يمكن للمرء الجلوس والاستماع الى هذه القصص من اصحابها وهم ينفثون عما بهم دون ان يتعاطف معهم ويحتضنهم ؟..ان معظم المعالجين يفعلون ذلك بشكل جيد جدا ولكن هذا لايعنى انه لايدفع الثمن ان الثمن الذى يدفعه المعالج عبارة عن اضطراب ضغوط مابعد الصدمة الثانوى "


ومن الملفت للنظر ان حالات كتير كانت بسبب حاجات حصلت فى الطفولة وده دليل ان الاسرة والتربية من الطفولة ودعم الاسرة مهم جدا وكانت الكارثة فى الحالات اللى كان سبب الصدمة الاهل . ورغم ان ممكن شخصين يتعرضوا لنفس الصدمة بس ردود افعالهم مختلفة وبتفرق من شخص لأخر ومن شخصية لاخرى ومن العوامل كمان المهمة ان كان فى صدمات ف الطفولة ولا لأ والدعم اللى بيحصل عليه من الاهل والاصدقاء

"نحن البشر لدينا خصائص فردية كثيرة فربما تعانى من اضطراب مابعد الصدمة باستمرار ولكن المهم هو الانتقال من كونك ضحية الى ناجى فمن الذكاء ان تلعب بما ربحت والنقطة الفاصلة فى كثير من الأحيان هى الوصول الى صديق او معالج موضع ثقة وان تطلب منه بعض المساعدة "

As the author states in the beginning of this book, “In twenty years as a marriage and family therapist, I have learned a great deal about Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, hereafter PTSD. I have learned every bit of it involuntarily, by working with survivors who had themselves involuntarily become victims. No one volunteers for PTSD. This book is organized around case studies and client profiles. All of the profiles have been fictionalized, as I have combined various stories and changed all identifying details. From these courageous people, I have garnered what it means to have survived a trauma which, by definition for PTSD, is a trauma outside the normal realm of everyday life—with all of its inherent wounds and pain (1).” This is as good a summary for this book as I can come up with. If you read a book like this, you know what you are getting, a qualitative approach to a problem that is suffered by perhaps ten percent or so of the population based on the estimates cited in this book. If you read a book like this, you know who you are as well—either you are someone who struggles with PTSD in some fashion based on your own life experiences [1], or you struggle with its secondary effects in people you care about on a personal or professional level, or both.

The vast majority of this book is contained of various case studies of the personas [2] the author has witnessed in her own practice. Although she does not consider herself an expert on PTSD, this book shows considerable expertise in writing from a case study approach, and furthermore it shows expertise as a result of having counseled people, which is how one gains expertise in this unpleasant matter. Although each of the personas discussed in this book is a fictionalization or a composite account, there are some threads that are common throughout most of them. Included among the personas are the following sorts of people: battered wives, eyewitnesses of trauma, survivors of ritualistic abuse and incest, parental neglect and abandonment, overly critical parenting, physical abuse, combat trauma, incest and lack of maternal bonding, adoption and mixed race background, rape after an ordinary upbringing, and secondary PTSD. The end of the book, from the secondary PTSD profile, which discusses the suffering a therapist or counselor deals with by spending their time with people in the grips of terrible personal crises as a result of horrific deeds perpetrated against them by other people who were usually wounded by someone else in generational cycles of abuse, to the short note for therapists that closes the book, is designed for those who are helping people with PTSD in reminding them that they will need help themselves from outside in order to deal with the evils they will hear about from their clients. Those who give therapy will often need therapy themselves.

As is my fashion at times, I had thought to quote some of the best quotes from this short book, which only takes 120 pages and spends over 95% of those pages in its case studies. However, after I had thought to quote at least ten paragraph-length parts of this book, many of them which deal in a searing and deeply unpleasant way with what the people recorded in this book, and many others, have survived, I realized that there was just too much in this book of deeply personal relevance to quote, and that the quotes would overwhelm any attempt to review the book, rather than merely relive the sort of horrors that the book’s subjects and intended audience have endured. That said, over and over again in the stories, the same sorts of issues are discussed over and over again: insomnia, extreme sensitivity to chemicals that hinders medication, extreme anxiety, a mind that never rests, low trust, hypervigilance to one’s surroundings, the tendency to read people as if they were books, and other similar matters that are all too familiar for some of us. More than merely showing what is wrong, and there is plenty that is wrong, the book is also a testament to the resilience of many survivors of abuse, and a testament to the fact that with time and grit, people can live a life of success and accomplishment that is far beyond what any reasonable expectation, and is therefore more encouraging than many counselors who can be found to deal with the horrors discussed in this book’s pages.

This is an interesting book of case studies focusing on a number of patients and their very different versions of post-traumatic stress disorder. Stocker provides an overview of each case, what types of things the patient was able to do for themselves, and what directions their therapy took. Each case differed in many significant ways while sharing some characteristics as well. Some of the things these patients went through are so horrific that I cried for their suffering. And, of course, not all of the patients 'got better,' which, sad as this is, is also very realistic. Not everyone can be helped and that is a difficult lesson to learn. I think one of the most intriguing chapters focused on secondary PTSD that affects many of the therapists themselves. It's something many of us as clients/patients don't think about... therapists often spend 8 hours a day listening to the horrors and torments their patients go through and this has to affect them in some way. Overall, this was a good introduction to PTSD and its treatment; written in an accessible, non-academic style.

an excellent look at the trauma of sever of the author's patients. it was not as informative as I would have liked, but it was good to hear the stories of both hope and despair and know that I am not alone.

Great, helpful book. Helped me understand people I know that have PTSD and why they sometimes act the way they do. Clear, engaging writing and not to medically technical.
