Abstract: | This article addresses the need for clergy to be better informed regarding the assessment and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and provides a quick reference guide to assist clergy in the recognition of PTSD with guidelines for interventions. In a society that is marked by unprecedented levels of violence and a growing shortage of mental health services, clergy are increasingly confronted with situations involving psychological trauma that require expert crisis intervention skills. This article provides specific, concrete guidelines for clergy confronted with situations that require knowledge about PTSD. |
