I have included this book because of its vast helpfulness in my own recovery. The first word of the title sums up its usefulness to someone in recovery from the disorder of P.T.S.D., "Connecting." The book provides real solutions to communications problems, as well as offering insight into why the problems occur. As a sufferer, communication of my wants, needs, desires, etc. has always been difficult because of conflicting messages in my thinking, which with the help of this book have been somewhat overcome.

This book is complete with working examples detailing the fundamental steps to intensive journalizing practices. It also includes useful definitions, and descriptions of journalization techniques. This book has been an irreplaceable recovery tool for me.

Yates, J. M.& Wallace, E. S. (1984). The complete book of self-hypnosis. Chicago: Nelson Hall.
Although I have never experienced hypnosis myself I am aware of countless others who have enjoyed wonderful benefits from the practice. It has helped such problems as anxiety, nightmares, insomnia, overeating, and other compulsive behaviors, so I thought I should include this as a reference. The book offers an understanding of hypnosis as a recovery tool, discusses myths about hypnosis, and provides basic "how-to" instructions.
Police & Other Professional
Baechler, J. (1976). Suicides. New York: Basic Books.I have included this book as well as some others with a focus on suicide because I believe suicide is a very intrinsic part of P.T.S.D..

It is an irreplaceable reference for professionals working with P.T.S.D. clients.

Bass, E. & Davis, L. (1988). The courage to heal - a guide for women survivors of child sexual abuse. New York: Harper and Row.
This is a wonderful book that has been a great source of help for me in my own recovery.

It is regretful, however, that this book like many others leaves out the male survivor, which is in my estimation a tragic mistake both for men and women.
