Traumatic Stress and Its Aftermath: Cultural, Community, and Professional Contexts
Autor Sandra Leeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 feb 2004
This book will educate you about the aftermath of traumatic stress as it impacts people in a variety of settings. It explores the factors that lead to increased or reduced vulnerability to the effects of traumatic stress, emphasizing the impact of cumulative/multiple trauma rather than the effects of a single traumatic incident, to help you design and implement effective prevention and intervention programs.
The specific populations and groups addressed in this important book include:
- adolescent girls involved in armed conflict in Colombia’s guerilla war
- urban African-American youth—a theoretical model for risk and resiliency
- people with strong spiritual/religious beliefs—how spirituality can affect a person’s reaction to traumatic stress
- women in recovery in a community aftercare shelter
- female trauma therapists—factors affecting vicarious traumatization of helping professionals
- college students with histories of abuse
- What is the relationship between the experiences of trauma or other stressful life events, and subsequent traumatic stress?
- What are the protective factors that can buffer or ameliorate the development of traumatic stress in the face of adverse life experiences, trauma, or other stressful events?
- How do these questions evolve in different cultural or community contexts, and with different populations?
- What are the implications for interventions for community institutions and mental health workers?
- What roles do self-esteem and spirituality play in a person’s reaction to traumatic stress?
- How do reactions to traumatic stress differ between women who have been sexually abused as children and women who have not?

Descriere
This book will educate you about the aftermath of traumatic stress as it impacts people in a variety of settings. It explores the factors that lead to increased or reduced vulnerability to the effects of traumatic stress, emphasizing the impact of cumulative/multiple trauma rather than the effects of a single traumatic incident, to help you design and implement effective prevention and intervention programs. You'll learn about adolescent girls' experiences with violence and trauma, about the experiences of urban African-American youth, of people with strong spiritual/religious beliefs, and of female trauma therapists themselves—with important information on avoiding vicarious traumatization.
