Description

Originally published in 2007, this was the first textbook to focus specifically on disaster psychiatry.

It brings together the views of international experts to provide a comprehensive review of the psychological, biological, and social responses to disaster, describing evidence-based clinical and service-led interventions to meet mental health needs and foster resilience and recovery.

Chapters address the epidemiology of disaster response, the neurobiology of disaster exposure, socio-cultural issues, early intervention and consultation-liaison care, the role of non-governmental organizations, workplace policies, and implications for public health planning at the level of the individual and the community.

This book is essential reading for all those involved in preparing for traumatic events and their clinical and social outcomes for public health planning.
