This is the first textbook to focus specifically on disaster psychiatry. It
brings together international experts to provide a comprehensive review of the
psychological, biological and social responses to disaster, describing
evidence-based clinical and service-led interventions to meet mental health
needs and foster resilience and recovery. Chapters address the epidemiology of
disaster response, the neurobiology of disaster exposure, socio-cultural issues,
early intervention and consultation-liaison care, the role of non-governmental
organizations, workplace policies, and implications for public health planning
at the level of the individual and the community. This book is essential reading
for all those involved in preparing for traumatic events and their clinical and
social outcomes.
