This is a unique book on the effects on trauma. It combines international knowledge and empirical evidence with local researches and practices on a range of trauma events. The resulting work is both universally as well as culturally relevant to practices in Hong Kong and our neighboring places in China and Asia. The book is an invaluable tool for clinicians, researchers and policy makers. -- Se-fong Hung, MBBS, FRCPsych President, Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists Hospital
