Praise for The Time Cure

"Dr. Zimbardo and Dr. Richard and Rosemary Sword have advanced both a model and a philosophy that empowers those impacted by PTSD to help themselves find the peace and balance that was lost through trauma. Time Perspective Therapy (TPT) is a powerful breakthrough at a time when the need has never been greater. This book will change the lives of so many that have felt lost to a life of fear and anguish, but now can discover the joy of a hope-filled future."
—DR. PHIL MCGRAW, bestselling author and host, Dr. Phil

"Trauma can often disrupt perspective, locking one's eyes onto painful events in the rearview mirror. Read this book if you want to know how to return your focus to the road."
—DAVID EAGLEMAN, neuroscientist, Baylor College of Medicine; author, Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain

"The Time Cure is a magnificent offering to the PTSD literature. No serious researcher or clinical professional in the field of psychological post-trauma should be without a copy on their bookshelves. With the burgeoning number of war veterans with PTSD as well as traumatized individuals from other walks of life, this timely book can be generalized to a wide variety of settings and situations."
—HAROLD HALL, PH.D., ABPP, APN, editor, Terrorism: Strategies for Intervention; director, Pacific Institute for the Study of Conflict and Aggression

"Our current generation of military suffers greatly from the emotional wounds of war (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Time Perspective Therapy can be a helpful technique to unravel the emotional chaos of the past, create a focused present, and move toward a hopeful future for today's soldiers, veterans, and our families."
—TED ENGELMANN, writer, photographer, and Viet Nam veteran

"The most widely prescribed therapies for PTSD, due to their revisiting of painful past experiences, often drive clients away before long-lasting healing can begin. The Time Cure offers a welcome alternative that empowers individuals to refocus thoughts into more productive pathways that lead out of the negative past into a more hopeful, goal-directed future. This promising new approach could revolutionize the manner in which PTSD is treated."
—DON KOPF, PH.D., psychologist, Positive Potential Counseling and Consulting, Honolulu, Hawaii
