Title: Surprisingly Basic
Review: Although the title promises alot, the results are extremely unsatisfying. A colleague recommended this book and I found it to be so general and basic to the practice of treating trauma survivors that I quickly moved on to other titles. In contrast, Jonathan Shay's *Achilles in Vietnam* handles the depth and complexity of the Vietnam warrior in a much more literate and lyrical fashion. Judith Herman's *Trauma and Recovery* places trauma treatment in a better historical context and provides a comprehensive approach to treating survivors. Fay's book is weak in the patchwork feeling to the flow of chapters. For a more comprehensive and strong coverage of cognitive and behavioral treatments, I strongly recommend the fairly recent volume by Victoria Follette and colleagues (*Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies in Trauma*).
