- ABC-CLIO
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 issuesâfrom persistent pain to homelessnessâthat 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.

Carll, a practicing psychologist in Long Island who has developed training courses in trauma psychology since the 1990s, has assembled 24 chapters by specialists on this burgeoning field to create a reference that will be of interest to mental health professionals and the general reader. Volume One contains 12 chapters on violence and disasters, including well-known disasters like 9/11 and the 2004 Madrid bombings. Specific types of traumas and their impact and treatment are described in separate chapters, including stalking, killing as trauma, kidnap, and large- and small-scale fires. Volume Two contains 12 chapters on those traumas associated with health and illness, including motor vehicle accidents, AIDS, spinal cord injury, pain, and youth homelessness. Many of the chapters include discussion of the prevalent symptom of trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
