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.
