| Contents | The nature of traumatic stress. The psychology of terror and its aftermath / Harry C. Holloway and Carol S.

McCarroll -- Psychological and psychiatric aspects of technological disasters / Lars Weisaeth -- Traumatic effects of accidents / Ulrik F. Malt -- The human experience of earthquakes / Brian G.

Harris -- Stress and coping with the trauma of war in the Persian Gulf : the hospital ship USNS Comfort / Michael P. Dinneen, Roger J. Pentzien and John M. Mateczun -- Long-term sequelae of combat in World War II, Korea and Vietnam : a comparative study / Robert Rosenheck and Alan Fontana -- Psychophysiological aspects of chronic stress following trauma / Laura M. Davidson and Andrew Baum -- Individual and community reactions to the Kentucky floods : findings from a longitudinal study of older adults / Fran H. Norris, James F. Phifer and Krzysztof Kaniasty. Conclusions. The structure of human chaos / Robert J. Ursano, Brian G. McCaughey and Carol S. Fullerton. The role of psychological context in responses to trauma and disasters. Social support and perceived control as moderators of responses to dioxin and flood exposure / Susan D. Solomon and Elizabeth M. Smith -- Debriefing following traumatic exposure / Arieh Y. Shalev -- Relocation stress following natural disasters / Ellen T. Gerrity and Peter Steinglass -- Group reactions to trauma : an avalance accident / Pal Herlofsen -- Community responses to disaster : the Gander plane crash / Kathleen M. Wright and Paul T.

| Summary | The aims of this book are twofold: to improve understanding of the human experience of trauma, whether at the level of the individual or the community, and to help those who are its victims. The range of issues covered is impressive, from the biological basis of post-traumatic stress reactions, through practical strategies for prevention and treatment, to the psychosocial and fictional construction of terror. Wherever possible the editors have sought to impart understanding, order, and predictability to the experience of trauma and disasters in the belief that the way to recovery is through the mastery of chaotic events. This book will serve and inform clinicians, administrators and research workers in psychiatry, psychology, public health and related areas. |
