   The book details the ways in which those suffering from truama symptoms i.e. PTSD are effected in thier closests relationships, particularly marriage. It gives many real examples of couples and walks a couples therapist through the details of a relationship where trauma and relational distress intersect in a close relayionship ...using and applying attachment theory as a guide to healthy adult relationships. I highly recommend it.
   While written by a teaching professor for therapists, the reading level is popular with minimal technical language.

   Dr. Johnson looks for resources for effectively helping war trauma survivors. Her language is more than adequate professionally but doesn't get in the way of easily understanding what she is saying and where she is taking us. Her illustrations are earthy, practical and fun, all the while dealing with material that challenges the best of us as therapists. When we wake up in the night in cold sweats, the therapist isn't there. However my spouse is!
   
   Great resource for those working with immigrants with war trauma previously factored into their equation.
