Description
Summary:In these 11 chapters, light is shed on subjects such as: international disaster response, risk communication, consequences of media coverage, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, children and families, disaster workers, health care planning, workplace disasters, pandemics, leadership, nuclear disasters responses and ethical issues. [...]experts in disaster psychiatry will still have important roles to fill in preparedness phases and when it comes to facilitating mental health in the population. Since the scene is so diverse, maybe the more inclusive construct of 'Psychotraumatology' could be more representative. [...]it would have been good to see a chapter dealing with work related stress in civilian operational organizations, which make up a heavy part of the daily environment of rescue workers medical emergency services, police departments and other kinds of first responders in disaster settings.
