Siam has been no man colony

Lords of Life


To Narisara Chakrabongse

Darling Daughter,
It will be a long time before you can read this book. It will be even longer before you can understand and appreciate it.
But as it is the history of our Chakri Family, I can only dedicate it to you, a very junior and humbling member of that great family, for amongst their members, high or low to rank, you are naturally the one close to my heart.
I hope that when you come to read and understand this book, you will be truly and rightly proud of your Chakri ancestry and your direct descent from five kings and five queens, as well as from your grandfather who did not live long enough to complete his work for the country he loved so well. In all your actions I ask you always to try to cherish and honour their sacred memory.
With my very best love and wish for your happiness above all else.

Papa

IN THE NINETEENTH century the ancient monarchies of the Far East surrendered one by one to the power of Europe. For three centuries they had known Europe and felt its touch;they had realized, or been made to realize, its technical superiority;but they had still preserved their independence and their pride. The Emperor of China regarded George III as an outer barbarian whose emissary could only come to pay tribute, The King of Burma insisted on treating George IV as one of his vassals. These rulers were prepared to use Europeans;they did not expected to be used by them. But then,as the ninettenth century were on,the cascade began. The opium war in China was the warning signal.

Abstract: ...........Terrorism CBT has been found to be effective for PTSD following terrorist attacks, eg, in the survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center,42 the 2005 London bombings,43 and the 1998 bomb explosion in Omagh, Northern Ireland.44 CBT for the victims of the World Trade Center attack was manualized, applied flexibly, in 12–25 sessions, by therapists with no prior training through to extensive training in CBT. There were significant pre-post reductions in symptoms of PTSD and depression.42 The improvement in PTSD in victims of the 2005 London bombings was well maintained at an average of one year later.43 Patients with PTSD secondary to the bomb explosion in Omagh received an average of eight treatment sessions by staff with modest prior training in CBT for PTSD. However, the degree of improvement was comparable with that in reported research trials, in spite of the fact that almost half of the patients (53%) had psychiatric comorbidity.44 War trauma The traumas of war have long been associated with PTSD. In addition, soldiers exposed to combat remain at high risk for developing the disorder.45 Multicomponent CBT showed promise in a group of male combat veterans with severe and chronic PTSD for improving social functioning beyond that provided by exposure therapy alone, particularly by increasing social engagement and interpersonal functioning.46 CBT with brief virtual reality exposure has been found to be beneficial in treating PTSD in war veterans.45 A 12-session integrated treatment using components of cognitive processing therapy for PTSD, and CBT for chronic pain management in veterans with comorbid chronic pain and PTSD, suggested not only the feasibility of this treatment approach but also clinical benefit.47 In recent years, new data have appeared, further suggesting the utility of cognitive-behavioral interventions for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) subsequent to sexual assault. In this article, we present a model of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for PTSD in rape survivors. Emotional-processing theory, which proposes mechanisms that underlie the development of disturbances following rape, is reviewed. A CBT-based therapy (Prolonged Exposure) is presented that entails education about common reactions to trauma, relaxation training, imaginal reliving of the rape memory, exposure to trauma reminders, and cognitive restructuring. Current research regarding the use of prolonged exposure is discussed. The case example of a young female rape survivor is described in detail, and her prior substance dependence and intense shame are highlighted. The therapy was successful in reducing the client's symptoms of PTSD, as well as her depressive symptoms, and these gains were maintained at a one-year follow-up assessment.
