Mind Matters: Design Guidelines for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
This book strives to understand the functional design requirements of healing environments involved in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment. We have expanded upon our literature review with interviews and research findings in order to produce a comprehensive set of research-driven design guidelines which will address the physiological, psychological and behavioral characteristics associated with PTSD. Our goal in producing this book is to disseminate the knowledge that we have gained to both the design community as well as the general public.
Developing Efficiencies in Healthcare Design
The current VA healthcare system is one that is broken, failing many of its veterans suffering with PTSD by not being able to provide treatment and providing therapy in a space unconducive to treatment. This problem needs to be fixed so that veterans no longer have to keep suffering on their own with PTSD symptoms.
