Part of the The Springer Series on Stress and Coping book series (SSSO)

Abstract

It was Kurt Lewin who said, “There is nothing so practical as a good theory.” The present instance provides the opportunity for the value of theory to be demonstrated. The two-factor phenomenological formulation of post-traumatic stress introduced in Chapter 3 yields a natural corollary: a two-factor therapeutic approach to the treatment of post-traumatic stress. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce such a two-factor meta-therapy.
