Psychological service in the wake of cataclysmic life events has emerged as a prominent and visible component of social response. This has generated a bandwagon of potential service providers, service approaches, and service venues. Where once help was scarce, it has become plentiful enough to engender its own set of conflicts and contradictions along with its intended solace and aid. This volume reconciles the technical, theoretical, and applied interests represented in various populations and provides a contemporary treatment that can help define the directions of their increasing interaction.

A Trauma Book That Says What Needs to Be Said,
By J. Curtis McMillen (St. Louis MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Response to Disaster: Psychosocial, Community, and Ecological Approaches (Series in Clinical and Community Psychology) (Paperback)
This terrific edited book is aimed at a pretty small audience: disaster and trauma professionals. The book's chapters range widely in content and sophistication. The highlights are the chapters of no-holds barred, naming names, well-deserved criticisms of the profit-motivated trauma treatments of the day: EMDR, Field Thought Therapy and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. These are important views that won't get published in the professional journals. The chapters on trauma theories are less engaging, but largely cutting-edge. Some of the other chapters, such as the one on assessing the impact of trauma in work-related populations, focused more on technical sophistication than on having something meaty to say. If you are a trauma professional, you should find several chapters to justify the purchase price. But this is not a book for a general audience.
