Traumatic Stress and Its Aftermath: Cultural, Community, and Professional Contexts

By Sandra S. Lee

Book Overview

This book will educate you about the aftermath of traumatic stress as it impacts people in a variety of settings. It explores the factors that lead to increased or reduced vulnerability to the effects of traumatic stress, emphasizing the impact of cumulative/multiple trauma rather than the effects of a single traumatic incident, to help you design and implement effective prevention and intervention programs. You'll learn about adolescent girls' experiences with violence and trauma, about the experiences of urban African-American youth, of people with strong spiritual/religious beliefs, and of female trauma therapists themselves--with important information on avoiding vicarious traumatization.
