内容简介

This useful resource offers psychotherapists and others involved in emergency response the most comprehensive, up-to-date information available on the immediate and lasting effects of trauma on children and adolescents. The editors review the research and intervention literature on a broad range of natural and man-made disasters, from floods and house fires to acts of terrorism and war. Chapter authors document children's reactions, identifying factors that may predictor, alternatively, buffer against severe trauma responses. Descriptions of preparatory and post-disaster coping materials and interventions developed for use with children are included.
