Living With Terror, Working With Trauma

In this timely anthology, Knafo (clinical psychology, Long Island U.) compiles 28 essays by international experts (medics, psychologists, artists) addressing ways in which mental health practitioners can offer assistance to survivors of terror-related trauma. Drawing upon personal experiences in areas of mass violence, including the Middle East and Vietnam, authors explore psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, existential, and neuro-physiological therapy strategies, both clinical and field-based, for adults, children, and groups. Five essays are dedicated exclusively to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
