Learn intervention strategies to counter the effects of terrorism
In the twenty-first century, terrorism has become an international
scourge whose effect devastates individuals, weakens societies, and
cripples nations. The Trauma of Terrorism: Sharing Knowledge and
Shared Care, An International Handbook and Shared Care provides a
comprehensive, penetrating look at the effects of terrorism, at the
prevention and treatment of immediate and long-term sequelae, at
preparedness for terrorism, and at the range of individual,
community, and national responses. International authorities
discuss the latest knowledge and research about terror, its root
causes, and its psychological impact on individuals, families,
societies, and nations, as well as the societal and political
responses and services that may help lessen its impact. The Trauma
of Terrorism: Sharing Knowledge and Shared Care, An International
Handbook analyzes the full scope of terrorism. This compendium
explores numerous issues in detail, such as the nature and
psychology of terrorism, how to foster a community's capacity for
resilience, the psychosocial consequences of terrorism in children
and adults, the centrality of traumatic grief, the need for
multicultural understanding in services and treatment,
interventions for children and adolescents, training programs for
mental health professionals, and proactive community organization
in the face of terrorism. Treatment options and services are
thoroughly explored and their effectiveness evaluated. Chapters are
international in scope, well-referenced, and geared to provide
thoroughly reasoned recommendations to lessen the effects of
terrorism. Original witness voices from survivors and professionals
worldwide give depth to the scientific character of the book.
Helpful tables and graphs clearly illustrate data and ideas. The
