Failure to Scream

Failure to Scream Avoid the dangers of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by learning to express and deal with the effects of painful moments Posttraumatic-stress disorder - a potentially devastating condition - develops when we bottle up our pain inside rather than cope with it openly. Once thought of as a problem only among Vietnam veterans, posttraumatic-stress disorder is now recognized as one of the most basic responses to any kind of traume - including divorce, abuse, unemployment, debilitating illness, and natural disaster. Using moving personal stories, Robert Hicks - the chaplain called to the Delta 191 crash in 1985 - reveals exactly what we need to know about how trauma affects us, how to cope with real-life nightmares, how to recognize posttraumatic-stress in ourselves and others, and how to emotionally survive and recover.
