and Illness

These volumes by a team of internationally recognized experts reflect and
highlight both recognized and under-recognized events that cause trauma. They
also examine current and emerging research on effective interventions to
minimize and heal the effects of the trauma. Special attention is also given to
culture and context, because what is considered healthy or problematic may vary
widely across cultures, and culture can influence people's coping styles.
Sources of trauma discussed include stalking, killing, terrorism, torture,
kidnap, workplace violence, domestic violence, children and war, fires, floods,
AIDS, pain, burns, spinal cord injury, children and medical illness,
homelessness, and more. Case examples, treatment recommendations, and public
policy recommendations are included in each of the chapters.The growing field of
trauma psychology has been spurred recently by natural events from Hurricane
Katrina to the Tsunami, and by terrorist events worldwide, as well as chronic
health and social issues—from persistent pain to homelessness—that are
mounting. The experts offer a gripping overview of the most traumatic and
widespread events causing trauma and of the symptoms and health impairment that
may result. Most important, they explain how we can best recognize, understand,
and treat the sufferers and develop intervention policies.
