The Unspeakable Mind: Stories of Trauma and Healing from the Frontlines of PTSD Science by Shaili Jain

3.0

This provides an overview of PTSD with a dominant psychiatry/medical perspective. Jain covers a wide range of topics under PTSD; too many in fact. No topic is covered in sufficient depth and thus as a clinical book for reference it is far too simplistic. The case studies included were helpful. Although some case studies were left unresolved, that is more indicative of what happens in clinical practice. I thought there was a noticeable bias in how Jain reported research such as, certain medications given more credence than new-age treatments. This book will age very quickly given the rapid advances in this field. This book is perhaps best geared towards medical students seeking to specialise in psychiatry.
