Beating Combat Stress

Abstract

John Henden’s previous book Preventing Suicide, on working briefly with suicidal clients, was a much needed addition to the field, and I believe that his latest, Beating Combat Stress, will be even more highly valued. It will also have wider appeal than the title suggests, for though it may appear to be written for professionals working in a specialised area, it also puts practical techniques into the hands of anyone who is in a position to support sufferers of post-traumatic stress. In his words “the book’s twin purpose is to provide a handbook for practitioners and at the same time to be a self-help book or buddy-aid manual.”
