It is an ideal text for both seasoned professionals and graduate students in all of the helping professions. Detailed case examples and descriptions of clinical and community interventions provide 'everything you need to know' about helping clients heal from large-scale traumatic incidents."--Cathy A. Malchiodi, ATR, CPAT, LPCC, National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children "Much still remains to be learned about how mass trauma affects children and families and how its harmful impact can be reduced. In the absence of decisive evidence, this book fills the gap by outlining what is currently known and making valuable recommendations for practice. Given previous terrorist acts, current threats, and the ongoing separation of children from parents who serve in the military, this book addresses a very timely issue and does so with clarity and wisdom."--Arieh Y. Shalev, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Hadassah University Hospital, Israel, A timely book....Practitioners who work with these victims will gain a great deal from the various treatment models presented as well as assistance with helping themselves deal with the stressful nature of their work.
