About this title

Synopsis

"The time has come," writes Anngwyn St. Just, "to expand our understanding of trauma to include the kinds of overwhelm that extend beyond a traumatized individual. If we are to meet oncoming challenges of natural and man–made disasters, war, terrorism and other forms of violence, new paradigms are needed." Dr. St. Just urges her readers to awaken to a realization that trauma is a global issue and to an urgent need to develop international, culturally appropriate, cost-effective trauma education and recovery programs based upon easily transmitted concepts.

This book offers a compelling invitation to expand current concepts of trauma to include Nature, shamanic wisdom, cross cultural, non verbal, body oriented methods, and an appreciation for the healing power of community.
