This is the first textbook to focus specifically on disaster psychiatry. It <br />
brings together international experts to provide a comprehensive review of the <br />
psychological, biological and social responses to disaster, describing <br />
evidence-based clinical and service-led interventions to meet mental health <br />
needs and foster resilience and recovery. Chapters address the epidemiology of <br />
disaster response, the neurobiology of disaster exposure, socio-cultural issues, <br />
early intervention and consultation-liaison care, the role of non-governmental <br />
organizations, workplace policies, and implications for public health planning <br />
at the level of the individual and the community. This book is essential reading <br />
for all those involved in preparing for traumatic events and their clinical and <br />
social outcomes.<br />
