If a free copy of a reading is available, I’ll do my best to post a link to it. For books, I’ll link to Amazon so that you can preview the book for free, and if you buy it, a tiny commission will help support this site. Academic articles will link to the main publisher’s site so you can read the abstract. If you have books or articles to recommend, please use the comment page with the full citation and if appropriate I will include it on the site. Some of these items are directly from course outlines from the best PTSD training programs available.
