Disasters
Strategies for Mental Health Practice
|
|
Edited by Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, Patricia J. Watson, and Matthew J.
Friedman
Bringing together over 40 leading experts in disaster mental health, this
essential volume presents practical clinical guidelines grounded in the best
science available. The focus is on what first-responders, clinicians, and
policymakers need
to know about effective intervention in the immediate, intermediate, and
long-term aftermath of large-scale traumatic events. Vital lessons learned
from a variety of mass traumas and natural disasters are incorporated into
the book's thorough review of strategies for helping specific victim and
survivor populations. Of crucial importance, the authors clearly summarize
the empirical evidence supporting each intervention and provide other
guidance based on experience and consensus recommendations.
