Now, in \u003ci\u003eThe Time Cure\u003c\/i\u003e, Zimbardo has teamed with clinicians Richard and Rosemary Sword to reveal a groundbreaking approach that helps those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to shift their time perspectives and move beyond the traumatic past toward a more positive future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTime Perspective Therapy switches the focus from past to present, from negative to positive, clearing the pathway for the best yet to come: the future. It helps PTSD sufferers pull their feet out of the quicksand of past traumas and step firmly on the solid ground of the present, allowing them to take a step forward into a brighter future. Rather than viewing PTSD as a mental illness the authors see it as a mental \u003ci\u003einjury\u003c\/i\u003e—a normal reaction to traumatic events—and offer those suffering from PTSD the healing balm of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Time Cure\u003c\/i\u003e lays out the step-by-step process of Time Perspective Therapy, which has proven effective for a wide range of individuals, from veterans to survivors of abuse, accidents, assault, and neglect.
