Trauma Practice in the Wake of September 11, 2001

By Rebecca N. Hazell, Jan Faust, Steven N. Gold

This essential book responds to the traumatic impact of the terrorist attacks on America and their implications for trauma practice. Trauma Practice in the Wake of September 11, 2001 is your key to state-of-the-art information on the psychology of terrorism, the traumatic impact of terrorism on those directly affected and on the general population, and ways to help children, adolescents, and adults cope with the aftermath of the attacks. It also shows how to deal with "compassion fatigue," the potentially debilitating impact that working with traumatized individuals can have on practitioners when responding on-site to a catastrophic incident such as the attack on the World Trade Center.
