This book offers a broad theoretical foundation by relating and
contrasting relevant international literature with the outcomes of
a particular research project. It provides a critical reevaluation
of the complex phenomena of coping with disasters on a general
level by applying this integrative theory of disaster coping to a
specific context. A cultural psychological model is developed in
order to suggest ways of understanding and assessing local and
cultural specificity. This interaction of the general and locally
specific is central to our understanding of cultural psychology of
coping with disaster. The book provides a basic overview, by
presenting various approaches to coping with natural disasters and
relating them to each other in a coherent manner. So far, most
research approaches either focus on technical, social,
psychological or cultural aspects of coping, neglecting their
interconnectedness. Coping is seldom seen as an extensive,
long-term process, in which disaster relief complexly interacts and
is integrated with the local actors and conditions. Until now, a
perspective is missing, in which the mentioned modes of coping are
integrated with cultural interpretations and practices and
long-standing forms of communal self-help, which possibly develop
in places that are frequently threatened by natural disasters.
