Post-Trauma Stress
by Frank Parkinson
The aftermath of disaster inevitably leaves hidden damage. To prevent this distress having long-term effects immediate action is crucial. Frank Parkinson examines the experience of post-trauma stress and outlines Critical Incident Debriefing, the method he uses to help people survive situations of crisis. This fascinating book contains essential reading for police, fire and rescue workers and others for whom disaster is part of the job. It will be just as useful for those whose traumas do not hit the headlines but nonetheless shatter their lives.
Frank Parkinson has worked behind the headlines of major disasters and flash-points of recent years - with personnel involved in air and rail crashes, and with victims and helpers following armed robberies, fatal shootings, car accidents and other violent incidents.
