Psychological Trauma: A Developmental Approach
Edited by Dora Black, Martin Newman, Jean Harris-Hendriks & Gillian Mezey
Normal and abnormal responses to stress, disasters, war and
civil conflict, and interpersonal violence are discussed, together
with diagnosis, interventions and treatments, and legal aspects.
There is reference to research findings throughout, and discussion
of future research needs; each chapter contains a comprehensive
bibliography. With contributions by many of the UK’s leading
authorities on responses to traumatic events, and edited by four
clinicians with extensive experience on the subject, this first UK
textbook on psychological trauma will be valuable to health and
social services professionals, lawyers, and those who plan
responses to disasters and help organise services. It will also
provide a useful introduction to trainees in the various mental
health and legal disciplines interested in the subject.
