This is the first book in a series of Integrative Medical books by PMPH that feature a truly international collaboration of authors from China and the USA. Joe Chang is the first acupuncturist in the United States to specialize in the treatment of soldiers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, while Dr Wang Wei-Dong has provided extensive treatment for survivors of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China.

PTSD is examined from Western biomedical and psychological viewpoints as well as through the historical perspectives of TCM. The wide range of clinical treatment methods provided here include the standard protocols used in the U.S. Army PSTD Integrative Treatment Program for returning soldiers. Chinese medicinal formulas for PTSD are also included.

Other features of this book include relevant PTSD case studies and current research outcomes from both China and the USA.
