"John Henden's previous book Preventing Suicide, on workingbriefly with suicidal clients, was a much needed addition to thefield, and I believe that his latest Beating Combat Stress will beeven more highly valued . . . I hope that it is widely read and theideas are carried forward into practitioner training as well aspractice." (Barry Winbolt Blog, 20 May 2011)

"I have witnessed first-hand the major impact this condition canhave - not just on those who suffer from it, but alsoon their friends, family and colleagues. The great thing about thisuser-friendly book is its strong emphasis on the'how-to' when dealing with any situation. It covers thesubject comprehensively, with plenty of case studies that readerswill identify with. I am sure I would have benefitted greatly fromreading it at that time, and I hope very much it will help others."--Andy McNabDCM MM, Bestselling Author of'Bravo Two Zero'

"At last! A nuts-and-bolts manual for those coping with normalreactions to abnormal events. John Henden delivers exactly what hesays: 101 techniques of hope and help. This book is not a panacea- but it is the best of 'tailor-made' and'off the peg' in one place, with something foreverybody."
