After successfully completing this course, you will be able to discern the impact of traumatic experiences on people and at least give initial counseling care and guidance, and when necessary be able to refer to more specialised help. The editor of the text is a Fulbright scholar who is internationally recognized for her work with traumatized populations in Rwanda and other sub-Saharan African countries; it includes the contributions of researchers from the United States, Australia, Africa, and Europe. The book discusses evidence-based trauma assessment and intervention techniques and integrates the latest findings from neuropsychology and psychopharmacology. It focuses on issues of loss and grief, survivorship and disability, genocide, natural disasters, the impact of war on civilians and veterans, and the distinct effects of trauma in early childhood, childhood, and adolescence. Also addressed are ethical perspectives and methods of self-care for counselors who work with this population. The text is aimed at graduate counseling students and professional counselors as well as social workers, psychologists, and other human service providers, affording them the opportunity to attend to trauma survivors with a greater depth of knowledge and confidence. |
