Springer International Handbook of Human Response to Trauma

Explore a global perspective on traumatic stress with the International Handbook of Human Response to Trauma. Part of the Springer Series on Stress and Coping, this book brings together insights from a historic gathering of professionals from 27 different countries. Originally meeting in Jerusalem, these representatives shared data and experiences regarding the impact of trauma on individuals and societies. This volume captures a unique dialogue between mental health professionals who, in many cases, had never worked with colleagues from other nations. The contributors represent countries that have faced significant conflicts, providing a rare look at how trauma is understood across different cultures and borders. By combining personal experience with objective data, this handbook offers a profound look at the human side of mental health and the shared challenges of managing traumatic stress.
