Von der hinteren Coverseite

Coming more than a decade after the first edition, this new edition of Disaster Psychiatry was spurred by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and necessitated by ongoing impact of climate change, racial and ethnic strife, mass shootings, wars, and more. This volume deftly synthesizes information from peer-reviewed scientific literature; the clinical wisdom imparted by frontline psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers; and the experiences of those who have organized disaster mental health services.

Using a biopsychosocial model, the chapter authors explain what a disaster is, how it relates to mental health, and how psychiatrists and other mental health professionals can effectively intervene to reduce suffering. Contributions from experienced mental health professionals lend realism and vibrancy to topics that include the role of technology in the disaster cycle; self-care for disaster responders and health care workers; evaluation of both young and adult patients; and interventions for marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and traditionally disadvantaged racial and ethnic populations.

With the wealth of information in this book, mental health professionals will be prepared to help their patients navigate the unexpected conflicts and catastrophes of the modern world.
