Introduction page of the book.
" Trauma In The Family " has been written as a in depth look at some of the important aspects of the condition known as Post traumatic Stress Disorder or P.T.S.D. for short. The long term effects of living with a trauma survivor has been a much neglected area, and it has not been seen as the most important support tool that the sufferer has at all times, but it is too important not to be used as an active support tool in the survivor's recovery.
It has been a field that I feel has been widely neglected over the years. What has tended to happen in the past is that the professional's main concentration has been on the primary sufferer and very little attention has been paid to the other family members who have to deal with this condition. The knock on effects that it has on the family on a day-to-day basis have been forgotten.
The wide spectrum of the effects of the trauma that is felt in the families and the partnerships and in any other emotional relationship that the trauma survivors have been ignored.
Much modern research, particularly in the U.S.A. has shown this to be a major factor in the emotional support network that the sufferer has.
It is not uncommon for previously well functioning marriages and partnerships to break up and for family members to become increasingly alienated from each other. The results of these traumatic breakups or breakdowns can then lead to further suffering as a secondary traumatization.
The trauma sufferer can therefore, end up in a continuous downward spiral that seems to make the prospect of recovery more and more remote and harder and harder to break.
This book is an attempt to give important information to help lessen the traumatic and destructive effects of this ripple effect on the intimate and family relationships of the sufferer.
Experience has shown and it will be looked at later in the book, how families can with the right information and guidance both lessen negative support and deliver good positive active support that will aid the sufferer's recovery and also lessen the dramatic impact of the sufferer's traumatic experience and reaction on the family relationships.
Closeness and intimacy are key requirements for a well-functioning human relationship. Unfortunately, survivors of such trauma often lose their capacity for such closeness after their traumatic experience.
Having been a personal sufferer from this condition for over 30 years, I have seen how it almost destroyed my own family and the ones I hold near and dearest.
Therefore , I know from personal experience only too well how powerful and destructive this problem is. I consider myself very fortunate that I managed to get some support that enabled my family and myself to start our recovery from this enveloping disorder.
I was fortunate to get some of the help required, but my own younger brother was not so fortunate, He suffered a traumatic personal attack over 10 years ago, and as a direct result of not having been given the help or treatment for his P.S.T.D type of problems ( He was misdiagnosed as suffering from depression and he was given anti-depression drug therapy), he then used the same drugs he was given as a treatment to enable him to commit suicide. It was a direct result of these and other experiences, that I have dedicated the rest of my life to help other sufferers and their family members to find their own recovery. Hopefully this book is my attempt to help other families to avoid going through the same destructive experience by being able to look up and learn how to cope better.
The one group who I feel lose out most from this disorder is the children both as primary and also secondary sufferers.
The children are the silent victims who most often do not have a voice to be heard. Everybody seems to think they will bounce back unharmed from the traumatic experiences that they have undergone, so I have chosen to highlight their special needs in this book.
Trauma in the Family by W. John Roberts – A Review by a reader
Having read “Trauma In The Family” in a single afternoon, I found the information contained surprising, illuminating and fascinating. Not only are the chapters clear and well defined, which explained what P.T.S.D is but also showed a depth of understanding into the consequences for suffers and the effects this condition can have on family members and friends.
The authors use of personal experiences, brought home the very real problems ordinary men, women and children face on a daily basis. As I read through the chapters, the definitions set out in the book, allowed me to look inwards on myself and identify experiences from my own life that relate to incidents of P.T.S.D. Armed with this knowledge at least I have the tools and understanding to take the next step to treatment.
For anyone who feels a sense of loss and despair on a regular basis, or for anyone looking for answers on their quest to help a friend. I would thoroughly recommend “Trauma In The Family” as their starting point, on a journey of many steps on the road to recovery.
