Beskrivning

This fascinating book provides a comprehensive overview of the extensive post-disaster mental health recovery program implemented after the 1988 Armenian earthquake. Covering the program's evolution, from the initial acute phase of clinical fieldwork, to its expansion as a three-year teaching and training program for local therapists, to the building of mental health clinics in devastated cities. Featuring poignant memoirs detailing the daily challenges and rewards of working in the trenches, the book presents a conceptual framework that can guide post-disaster clinical and research efforts, lessons learned from this work and other disasters, and highlights recent advances in disaster psychiatry. This school-based intervention program has informed subsequent disaster response efforts in many countries and has provided clinically relevant cutting-edge research findings from longitudinal and treatment outcomes studies conducted over 25 years. Essential reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and other mental health professionals and those working for relief organizations following disasters.

Recensioner i media

'In this exceptional volume, Drs. Goenjian, Steinberg, and Pynoos provide a prototype for responding to and studying mental health impacts of disaster on families and communities. As would be expected from their previous work, the project is meticulous and thoughtful in its inception and implementation, deftly balancing clinician and scientist perspectives. Beginning with a school-based intervention in Armenia, it followed participating youth across time using standard, reliable instruments and up-to-date methodologies. Clinical examples and anecdotes from participants and therapists bring the intervention and its challenges to life. Chapters are well-organized and didactic, providing a road map for conducting similar intervention research, with lessons learned and suggested prevention strategies. This book serves as an exemplar for future studies, and no disaster researcher or interventionist should be without it. An outstanding contribution!' Bonnie L. Green, PhD, Professor Emeritus Department of Psychiatry Georgetown University Medical School Washington, DC
