Abstract :
In this research, the writer found that the novel “Scared to Death” by Wendy Coursi Staub, showed the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder experienced differently by two main characters such as intrusive, avoidance, and arousal symptoms. Elsa is more dominant in intrusive symptoms than the avoidance and arousal symptoms, while Maris is more dominant in arousal symptom that others. The writer also found the way of character healing post traumatic stress disorder depicted in the novel such as reasonable mastery caring attachments to others and a meaningful purpose in life as they become perfect mothers. Elsa uses all of them, while Marin just uses two of them, namely caring attachment to others and a meaningful purpose in life. However, everyone who has post traumatic stress disorder will differently face the symptoms and ways to heal it.
