This evidence-rich collection takes on the broad diversity of
traumatic stress, in both its causes and outcomes, as well as the
wide variety of resources available for recovery. Its
accessible coverage shows varied presentations of post-traumatic
stress affected by individual, family, and group contexts,
including age, previous trauma exposure, and presence or lack of
social resources, as well as long-term psychological, physical,
and social consequences. Contributors focus on a range of
traumatic experiences, from environmental disasters (wildfires,
Hurricane Katrina) to the Holocaust, from ambiguous loss to war
captivity. And the book's final section, "Healing after Trauma,"
spotlights resilience, forgiveness, religion, and spirituality,
using concepts from positive psychology.
