In recent years, the field of psychology has seen an increasing
interest in the aftereffects of psychological trauma. Work has been
published that examines the psychological sequelae of rape, incest,
combat, natural disaster, fire, and, in a few cases,
hostage-taking. This is the first book that takes a long-term
perspective, by asking questions such as: How did survivors view
their experience through the lens of time? Were there any positive
effects associated with the experience? The author examines how
hostage victims perceive their victimization, and how they go about
the task of rebuilding their assumptive world. In sharing the
intimate details of this process, the hostage survivors have
allowed us to be close observers in their efforts to redefine their
world and themselves. They have served to expose the internal and
external forces that have helped or hindered their efforts. It is
important for those in human services, as well as management in
higher-risk professions, to understand the trauma from the
survivors' perspective. They need to know what is helpful to
survivors and what is not. Common sense assumptions of those in
authority are often wrong. Moreover, the initial post-release shock
and the overwhelming press of emotions and events make it difficult
for survivors to discern and express their genuine needs. The
passage of time can help to distill and organize thoughts and
feelings. In deepening our understanding of the needs of victims,
this study has enhanced our ability to be of service.
