Opis

Psychological service in the wake of cataclysmic life events has emerged as a prominent and visible component of social response. This has generated a bandwagon of potential service providers, service approaches, and service venues. Where once help was scarce, it has become plentiful enough to engender its own set of conflicts and contradictions along with its intended solace and aid. This volume reconciles the technical, theoretical, and applied interests represented in various populations and provides a contemporary treatment that can help define the directions of their increasing interaction.
