In his landmark book, The Time Paradox ,
internationally known psychologist Philip Zimbardo
showed that we can transform the way we think about our
past, present, and future to attain greater success in
work and in life. Now, in The Time Cure , Zimbardo has
teamed with clinicians Richard and Rosemary Sword to
reveal a groundbreaking approach that helps those living
with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to shift
their time perspectives and move beyond the traumatic
past toward a more positive future. Time Perspective
Therapy switches the focus from past to present, from
negative to positive, clearing the pathway for the best
yet to come: the future. It helps PTSD sufferers pull
their feet out of the quicksand of past traumas and step
firmly on the solid ground of the present, allowing them
to take a step forward into a brighter future. Rather
than viewing PTSD as a mental illness the authors see it
as a mental injury --a normal reaction to traumatic
events--and offer those suffering from PTSD the healing
balm of hope.The Time Cure lays out the step-by-step
process of Time Perspective Therapy, which has proven
effective for a wide range of individuals, from veterans
to survivors of abuse, accidents, assault, and neglect.
Rooted in psychological research, the book also includes
a wealth of vivid and inspiring stories from real-life
PTSD sufferers--effective for individuals seeking
self-help, their loved ones, therapists and counselors,
or anyone who wants to move forward to a brighter
future. |
