This book was really informative. So much information. I did feel like the author was a bit harsh towards therapists and others in the helping professions outside of "doctors".

A very good introduction to PTSD for parents. Thorough and simple. Good examples.

Dr.Sheeringa produced a solid piece of work, making claims and backing them up. While some of his views challenged my own and ultimately did not sway me, I thoroughly appreciated the level of wrestling I had to do with the well-researched content.
