There is Hope October 3, 2002

This book has a very in-depth and comprehensive understanding of what causes PTSD and has a sensitive introduction to many aspects of healing and healing options from PTSD caused by many traumas (including sexual child abuse, rape, and violence). Ultimately we will all find our own way to healing, but it always helps to be educated and to receive support. This book is very in-depth and well rounded with many healing options to consider (many of which were helpful to me). There is hope. I often go back to this book for support when difficult emotions such as anger or grief re-surface. I wish you all luck on your individual journeys to transcendence.
Survivors of PTSD Have a New Best Friend March 7, 2000

This book may well become the best friend of every person recovering from PTSD. I frequently find myself turning to this book for direction and comfort when the symptoms become overwhelming. It is a powerfully effective tool against the panic and feelings of isolation that I face as a person with PTSD. The clear, concise explanations, acceptance of the reality of these symptoms, and specific instructions and suggestions for professional and self-treatment, organized in an easy-to-read format, have proven invaluable in my own recovery. Glenn has taken the fear and confusion of PTSD and turned it into an understandable and manageable situation. I would recommend this book to anyone suffering from PTSD. It may save your life, and will certainly save your sanity. I can't say enough good things about it. It has, truly, changed my life.
Thank heavens for this book! And Dr. Schiraldi... September 3, 2004

Have been with PTSD for 7 years now. When I came across Dr. Schiraldis book on this very site, I didn't know what I was in for! - Most precise and compassionate information, so much help I'd never dreamed of, and the best possible of tools to learn how to cope - how to live with PTSD, and to start overcome it.
I'll never forget how chapter one begins, "PTDS results form exposure to an overwhelmingly stressful event or series of events.... It is a normal response by normal people to an abnormal situation". How I needed to hear that! While everybody thought I'd gone mad, including myself.
Later, I told my shrink about this phenomenal book, I said to her: "Finally, a "user's manual - a book for the man on the floor"... and she'd laugh and comment that I must have gotten somewhere, saying that!
Now - dear Mr. Shiraldi, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea just how much you have helped me!
(Pray this book will reach many more - no one could get better help/information/advice/suggesions than what this book provides!
Recovery Begins with Knowledge July 16, 2003

I purchased this book in April after beginning therapy and first being diagnosed with chronic PTSD. I have suffered multiple traumas in my life: This book has been an excellent supplement to my therapy. It has helped me see fully realize the extent of my symptoms and also to see how the secondary symptoms have affected my relationships with others and thus gain perspective on much of the criticism I have endured through the years from colleagues and peers. PTSD affects all areas of the sufferer's life, including interpersonal relationships, school, the workplace, and the home. I am only now understanding how my PTSD has affected my life, and beginning to get a glimpse of a more positive future ahead. Futhermore, it has helped me to see that a positive support system is essential to recovery, and I do not have that within my family, so it will have to be cultivated from my friends. I also highly recommend this book for its straight forward, no nonsense style. I am a graduate business student at a top program and upon my diagnosis, I was able to integrate reading "Sourcebook" in with my heavy courseload without feeling like I was wasting time on a publication that was too much talk and not enough solution.
An excellent survival guide for anyone with PTSD September 25, 2001
31 out of 31 found this review helpful
I had gone through so much sadness, suffering and despair before coming across this book by chance. When I started reading it, it was as if I had awakened from a long coma, as if I was stepping out of a thick fog. Finally everything was starting to make sense! Schiraldi's writing style is clear and to the point, friendly without being patronizing. His description of the illness and treatment methods inspired me strength and confidence, now I know I can beat this thing! I very highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from PTSD, as well as to all those who study this illness, there's much to learn from it. Thank you, Dr. Schiraldi, you don't know how much your book meant to me!
