Product Description
International Responses to Traumatic Stress asks pertinent questions as the United Nations observes its 50th Anniversary. It focuses on the effects of traumatic stress which accompany personal and collective disasters. In an overcrowded world, recent catastrophes, natural as well as man-made, have left a wake of tormented people, ranging from political prisoners to humiliated UN peace-keepers.
Under the editorship of Yael Danieli, New York based world expert on trauma and victim/survivors, Britisher Nigel S. Rodley, Reader in Law and Special Rapporteur on Torture for the Commission on Human Rights, and Norwegian Professor Lars Weisaeth, Director of the research center for Disaster Psychiatry in Oslo, a group of prominent researchers and experienced field workers have contributed to this important and timely work. The volume includes a foreword by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
