Trauma and Mental Health in the Wake of a Technological Disaster
A gas explosion in Ghislenghien (Belgium, July 2004) instantly killed five firefighters, one police officer and 18 civilians. Moreover, 132 people were wounded and many of them suffered severe burn injuries. This book aims at clarifying the impact of a technological disaster, both phenomenologically and empirically. It also wishes to enhance the understanding of the challenges for psychological help in the wake of technological disaster. On the phenomenological side, the experiences of a disaster survivor are used to set the stage for a discussion on the conceptual differences between mainstream (Anglo-Saxon) trauma theories and the more classical (French) psychodynamic theories. Three chapt...
Gérer le trauma
Qu'est-ce qu'un trauma ? Quelles en sont les séquelles, les conséquences ? Comment les surmonter et, plus simplement, comment apprendre à revivre "normalement" ? Ces questions se posent habituellement dans la prise en charge psychologique des victimes confrontées à une expérience traumatogène. Mais également pour l'intervenant de première ou seconde ligne qui, régulièrement confronté aux situations traumatisantes lors de ses interventions, doit plus que quiconque pouvoir les assimiler s'il ne veut pas être tôt ou tard submergé par les souvenirs d'expériences douloureuses. Gérer le trauma décrit de façon simple et humaine les répercussions négatives d'un traumatisme psych...
Le traumatisme psychique chez l'adulte : Série LMD

Quels sont les événements susceptibles de générer des conséquences traumatiques ?

The Phoenix of Natural Disasters
This book encompasses discussions between Kathryn Gow and Douglas Paton, both psychologists who have researched stress, burnout, trauma, and recovery in natural disasters. They suggest that few books have been written for health professionals, and persons directly involved with leading and managing emergency teams on what constitutes resilience in individuals and groups in communities, and how they differ in response and recovery. The outcome is a three part book with contributors from the field, research institutions, emergency service sectors, support agencies and the media. Its main purpose is to focus on the resilience of people and communities following NDs and to educate the sectors already involved in natural disasters.
Risk Management of Terrorism Induced Stress
Terrorism is a psychological weapon; by definition its purpose is to spread terror or fear in order to achieve goals unattainable by more conventional means. It is a weapon of asymmetric warfare whose success or failure is entirely dependent on the psychological reactions of its targets. Despite this, interest in the effects of terrorism from a behavioral and psychological perspective is relatively recent, dating initially from the 1990s and boosted by the events of September 11th 2001. This book presents papers delivered at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) Risk Management of Terrorism Induced Stress – Guidelines for the Golden Hours (Who, What and When) held in Odesa, Ukraine, fr...

Doing Theology in Pandemics
The COVID-19 era will be remembered not only for the tragic global public health crisis, but also for the continued police violence against persons of color, the courageous activism that continues to rise up to confront racialized violence in all its forms, and the perpetuation of white nationalist rhetoric from the highest government elected offices. Everywhere we look, we find trauma and pain, and we find resilience and resolve. This volume, featuring leading theological scholars and religious leaders, is rich in analysis of the plagues we are facing and equally rich in the resources, practices, and inspirations that will carry our efforts to build a more just world.
