This evidence-rich collection takes on the broad diversity of
traumatic stress, in both its causes and outcomes, as well as the
wide variety of resources available for recovery. Its accessible
coverage shows varied presentations of post-traumatic stress
affected by individual, family, and group contexts, including age,
previous trauma exposure, and presence or lack of social resources,
as well as long-term psychological, physical, and social
consequences. Contributors focus on a range of traumatic
experiences, from environmental disasters (wildfires, Hurricane
Katrina) to the Holocaust, from ambiguous loss to war captivity.
And the book's final section, "Healing after Trauma," spotlights
resilience, forgiveness, religion, and spirituality, using concepts
from positive psychology. Included among the topics: The Great East
Japan earthquake: tsunami and nuclear disaster. Posttraumatic
stress in the aftermath of mass shootings. Psychosocial
consequences: appraisal, adaptation, and bereavement after trauma.
Loss, chaos, survival and despair: the storm after the storms.
Aging with trauma across the lifetime and experiencing trauma in
old age. On bereavement and grief: a therapeutic approach to
healing. Psychologists, social workers, researchers studying trauma
and resilience, and mental health professionals across disciplines
will welcome Traumatic Stress and Long-Term Recovery as a profound
source of insight into stress and loss, coping and healing.
