Disasters strike with sudden violence, tearing bodies, lives and families apart. Coping with Catastrophe is a practical handbook for those who must provide psychosocial aftercare for disaster victims. Using the survivors' own commentary, the authors provide accounts of the experiences of survival and bereavement under different types of conditions. They summarize current thinking about the psychological effects of disaster, and describe the therapeutic strategies available for treating victims with persistent problems, emphasizing the welfare needs of staff involved in rescue and support. They also discuss the practical aspects of co-ordinating disaster relief, such as the organization and planning of specific services like outreach facilities and crisis helplines after the event.
