This book is a concise overview of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), focusing on how this psychological diagnosis is dealt with in legal settings. It covers both civil cases (where personal injury claims are put forward) and criminal cases (where lessened penalties may be at stake). The goal of the courts is to decide on compensation in the former and extent of punishment in the latter. Offered here are critical points for forensic psychology evaluators and expert witnesses who must provide relevant scientific information in these situations. However, the issues discussed are useful to professionals in both mental health and law.  With a full explanation of the nature of PTSD, as well as practical advice on how the legal system approaches this and other traumatic disability syndromes, this guide is also relevant to military personnel, medical rehabilitation, and criminology researchers.
