Intervention guide for trauma and stress-related disorders

By Andrés Baldrich

The Intervention guide for trauma- and stress-related disorders is a key resource for mental health professionals seeking a thorough understanding of trauma- and stress-related disorders. The book offers a detailed overview of the evolution of the concept of trauma, exploring its different types, such as acute, chronic, and complex trauma, and how these relate to stress.
Throughout its pages, the author addresses the most common disorders that arise after traumatic experiences, based on the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria. It delves into:
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Acute stress disorder (ASD).
- Adjustment disorders.
- Reactive attachment disorder (RAD).
- Disinhibited social engagement disorder (DSID).
- Prolonged grief disorder (PGD).

For each of these disorders, specific characteristics and diagnostic criteria are detailed, in addition to analyzing how they impact the lives of those who suffer from them. The text also includes useful differential diagnosis tables, which help distinguish between these disorders and others with similar symptoms. Various diagnostic tests and scales are also presented, with clear explanations of what they assess, which population they are most appropriate for, how to administer them, and how to interpret the results.
Regarding therapeutic interventions, the book compiles the most effective and evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. Practical guidelines for family members and caregivers are also included, offering useful advice on how to support and accompany people affected by these disorders.
This manual is designed to be an invaluable reference for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and therapists, providing a solid and accessible foundation for the treatment and management of trauma- and stress-related disorders.
