Is this book useful for PTSD or depression?

[OM_™]

Just wondering if anybody has read or listened to:

Forgetting​

The Benefits of Not Remembering
by Scott A. Small

I am overwhelmed by so many books in my collection and interested to see if anyone has read this book and if it's useful for PTSD or depression?

I hadn’t heard of it, so I looked it up, and it appears the Author’s focus is on Alzheimer’s & Schizophrenia.

Scott A. Small is an American neurologist and neuroscientist known for his work in Alzheimer's disease and normal cognitive aging. His research focuses on the hippocampus, a circuit in the brain targeted by Alzheimer's disease, aging, and schizophrenia. Wikipedia

- Once A Warrior, Always A Warrior (Combat PTSD) Charles Hoge
- Complex PTSD, From Surviving To Thriving (Complex Childhood Trauma) Pete Walker
- The PTSD Relationship (Supporters) Diane England

- Feeling Great (depression, 2020 update from 1990 Feeling Good) David Burns

Hi Friday

So busy looking at myPTSD and writing to Dr Bloom that I never got around to thanking you for your reply. The only book on that list that I know is The Body Keeps The Score. I have got a lot of reading to catch up on; I'll look at some of the 52 experts too. Thanks again

I see that some others on this forum have found some good info in the writings of Beverly Engel. Years ago I found her book, It Wasn't Your Fault to be quite useful.
