Review

(From book jacket) "To counselors, teachers, parents, and caretakers coping in the aftermath of a disaster, this is a practical and illuminating volume. While avoiding psychological jargon, it presents useful techniques to mitigate the negative consequences of disasters on children and help them to become survivors rather than to remain victims."--Susan E. Hamilton, Ph.D., Disaster Mental Health Services, American Red Cross

"Health-care practitioners offer colleagues practical and theoretical principles to consider when providing relief primarily for children but also for other victims of trauma and widespread disasters. Fundamentals of trauma relief, development, individual and group interventions, and normalization are among the topics."--SciTech Book News
