This book tells the story of how a number of community based projects in response to collective trauma were carried out. It presents an iterative process of program development that is becoming a best practice in the field of psychosocial support. The basic ideas elaborated in this book are now being incorporated into the UN sponsored Handbook on Community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Humanitarian Emergencies. More and more clinicians and community practitioners are developing the kinds of models presented in this book to address a range of mental health challenges not only in situations of collective trauma. The book has become a text book in many social work programs and post graduate certificate program in trauma studies (see program described in Saul and Simon 2016 on program at Columbia University). I am currently using the book as text in an international program I direct with Bilgi University Istanbul, and the International Organization for Migration certificate program in humanitarian response. I am being asked to present the work in major international conferences. The other books that have come out recently on collective trauma and healing do not take a multi-systemic approach. They tend to incorporate such ideas into an individual clinical model and do not demonstrate how to work to strengthen resilience in families, communities and organizations.

The Sins of the Cities of the Plain (1881) is an erotic novel attributed to Irish prostitute Jack Saul. Published by William Lazenby, a prominent printer of Victorian erotica, The Sins of the Cities of the Plain is considered to be one of the first works of literature dedicated to homosexuality in the English language. "'Saul, Jack Saul, sir, of Lisle Street, Leicester Square, and ready for a lark with a free gentleman at any time. What was it made you take a fancy to me? Did you observe any particularly interesting points about your humble servant?' as he slyly looked down towards the prominent part I have previously mentioned." Having met by chance at Leicester Square, Jack Saul, a successful prostitute-colloquially known as a "Mary-Ann" or "rentboy"-agrees to accompany Mr. Cambon to his home at the Cornwall Mansions. After sharing a meal, the two men get down to business, exploring their young bodies and devoting themselves to pleasure. Curious about Jack's past, Cambon offers him money to share the story of his life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jack Saul's The Sins of the Cities of the Plain is a classic work of Victorian erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.
Collective Trauma, Collective Healing is a guide for mental health professionals working in response to large-scale political violence or natural disaster. It provides a framework that practitioners can use to develop their own community based, collective approach to treating trauma and providing clinical services that are both culturally and contextually appropriate. Clinicians will come away from the book with a solid understanding of new roles that health and mental health professionals play in disasters roles that encourage them to recognize and enhance the resilience and coping skills in families, organizations, and the community at large. The book draws on experience working with survivors, their families, and communities in the Holocaust, postwar Kosovo, the Liberian civil wars, and post-9/11 lower Manhattan. It tracks the development of community programs and projects based on a family and community resilience approach, including those that enhance the collective capacities for narration and public conversation.
