Beskrivning

The Psychology of Trauma-Informed Design bridges trauma psychology and applied interior design to show how everyday spaces can support healing rather than reinforce harm.Spanning neuroscience, biophilic design, and evidence-based standards, this book translates psychological theory into actionable design strategies built around safety, privacy, comfort, and inclusivity. Each chapter is anchored by applied design case studies showing how these principles can translate across emergency response, shelters, schools, counseling and rehabilitation centers, and residential communities, giving readers practical, population-specific guidance rather than generalized theory. This book is written for interior designers, architects, and design educators and students, as well as practitioners, administrators, and policymakers across healthcare, education, social services, and senior care who are seeking to create environments that respect and support survivors of trauma.
