A Further Refinement of Construct PTSD: Visual State Markers; Elimination with Ocular Saccades.

This Post Traumatic Stress Disorder website has been designed primarily for the interested lay person, particularly someone with PTSD themselves or with a close friend or relative with PTSD. We have worked on the problem of PTSD for 30 years in Australia – of necessity always working independent of orthodoxy. Hopefully it now allows the interested lay person to understand PTSD and, if necessary, to get rid of it for themselves.

This website also gives information for the lay person about so-called Attention Deficit ‘Disorder’. ADD and PTSD are frequently intertwined – when one is present and giving trouble, the other is often present also and compounding the trouble. When both are present both need attending to. If their possible presence isn’t always thought of and looked for by the therapist or whoever then, at any age, ADD, PTSD or both may well be missed.

We include one lay article on PTSD and one lay article on ADD. There is one 8000 word paper on PTSD for the professional which gives the ‘evidence base’ for what we talk about.

For reference we include the ‘Diagnostic Criteria’ for PTSD of the American Psychiatric Association – the ultimate in now-past orthodoxy.
