Posttraumatic Stress in Physical Illness delves into the intricate interplay between the development of posttraumatic stress reactions and various psychological symptoms in individuals grappling with physical illnesses. It examines the distinct factors that differentiate patients suffering from ailments such as myocardial infarction, cancer, HIV, vascular and neurological diseases, respiratory diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, this book scrutinizes the influence of demographic and disease-related characteristics, prior trauma or PTSD stemming from previous traumas, subjective perceptions of the illness, personality traits, and coping strategies on the severity, likelihood, and manifestation of posttraumatic stress symptoms associated with the physical illness. It is important to note that these symptoms not only impact the patients themselves but also have profound effects on their family members and loved ones.
Understanding the symptoms or pathological features and exploring the potential for posttraumatic growth in both patients and their relatives assumes paramount importance in this comprehensive text. As psychopathological and positive psychological responses to adversity can shape the formulation of psychological interventions, Posttraumatic Stress in Physical Illness serves as a vital resource for those engaged in the treatment and welfare of patients. By shedding light on the complex dynamics between physical illness and posttraumatic stress, this book offers valuable insights into the holistic approach required for optimal care and support.
