Healing 9/11: Creative Programming by Occupational Therapists

By Pat Precin

Book Overview

Healing 9/11 examines programs and interventions created and implemented by occupational therapists to aid those affected directly--and indirectly--by the 9/11 attacks. Ideal for courses in trauma and recovery, community interventions, disaster recovery, health programs and implementation, and mental health interventions as well as for professionals, this powerful book chronicles the experiences of OTs who worked with firefighters, burn victims, and displaced workers, as well as children, students, and clients suffering long-term symptoms of depression and anxiety. These first-hand accounts offer rare insights into the healing process for victims of terrorism (including OTs themselves), and serve as a guide to developing outreach and counseling services to those touched by future incidents.
