Trauma and Survival: Post-Traumatic and Dissociative Disorders in Women

by Elizabeth A. Waites

Integrating psychological, legal, sociological, and historical research findings, in addition to concepts of the psychology of women which have evolved over the last two decades, Dr. Waites proposes a new model of mental health that considers dissociation and post-traumatic syndromes as normal reactions to trauma and victimization, both within the family, and in the wider cultural context.
