Books by David Kinchin

This book is a practical introduction to PTSD and psychological debriefing, and offers an enhanced model of PD which the author terms `Emotional Decompression'. Structured like a deep-sea dive, this model provides time frames for how long to spend at various stages of the PD process, and when to stop for discussions and explanations.

It is estimated that at any one time around 135,000 school children are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This book provides teachers and support staff with the information they need to understand the implications of PTSD and ably and effectively support a traumatized child.
