这本创新和急需的手册将使精神卫生管理人员和从业人员能够为灾害受害者设计和实施有效的服务。根据他们自己与灾难受害者打交道的经验和丰富的研究，作者提出了一个关于三个一般主题的实用信息的紧凑纲要：理解灾难行为;制定危机咨询计划;以及在灾难发生后的几个小时，几天和几个月内帮助受害者的治疗技术。灾难并不罕见，但通常是意料之外的。大多数社区对地震、洪水、龙卷风或核电站熔毁后的破坏和混乱毫无准备;他们无法迅速或有效地作出反应。心理健康专业人员往往和其他人一样没有准备。传统上，救济工作的最高优先事项是提供食物、住所和医疗服务。现在人们越来越认识到，向处于困境中的受害者提供心理援助也是一个重要的优先事项。这本手册给心理健康管理员和从业人员的基本信息：* 灾害的类型和阶段 * 周围的概念与灾害有关的行为 * 受害者遭受的具体身体和情感问题 * 适当的帮助技术来治疗这些问题的洪水，飓风，火灾，地震和暴风雪的受害者的案例研究给人类的直接信息。除了州和地方政府的行政人员，社会工作者，精神病学家，心理学家，护士，学生和社区组织者也会发现这是一个现成的指南。
This innovative and much needed handbook will enable mental health administrators and practitioners to design and implement effective services for disaster victims. Drawing upon their own experiences dealing with disaster victims and upon a wealth of research, the authors present a tightly packed compendium of practical information on three general topics: understanding disaster behavior; developing a crisis counseling program; and treatment techniques for helping victims in the hours, days and months following a catastrophe. Disasters are not uncommon, but they are generally unexpected. Most communities are unprepared for the devastation and disorganization following an earthquake, flood, tornado, or nuclear plant meltdown; they they are unable to respond quickly or effectively. Mental health professionals are often as unprepared as others. Traditionally, the highest priorities in relief efforts have been the provision of food, shelter, and medical care. Now it is becoming increasingly recognized that psychological assistance to victims in distress is also an important priority. This handbook gives the mental health administrator and practitioner essential information about: * The types and phases of a disaster * The concepts surrounding disaster-related behavior * Specific physical and emotional problems suffered by victims * Appropriate helping techniques to treat those problemsCase studies of victims of floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, and blizzards give human immediacy to the information. In addition to administrators in state and local government, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, students, and community organizers will find this a ready guide.
