Facilitating Resilience and Recovery Following Trauma

Author(s): Lori A. Zoellner

Trauma

This volume synthesizes cutting-edge research on natural processes of resilience and recovery, highlighting implications for trauma treatment and prevention. Prominent experts examine what enables many trauma survivors to heal over time without intervention, as well what causes others to develop long-term psychiatric problems. Identifying key, modifiable risk and resilience factors-such as cognitions and beliefs, avoidance, pain, and social support-the book provides recommendations for when (and when not) to intervene to promote recovery. Illustrative case examples are included. A section on specific populations discusses children, military personnel, and low socioeconomic status or marginalized communities.


Product Information

"This volume brings together leading authorities in their respective topics. It is uniquely valuable in focusing on trauma survivors' resilience rather than their pathology. The book helps clinicians and researchers better understand the potentially modifiable risk and resilience factors that shape recovery. It identifies empirically supported principles that elucidate the often bewildering complexity of multiple problems and diagnoses commonly experienced by trauma survivors. Clinical recommendations are included in each chapter. Strongly recommended!" - Josef I. Ruzek, National Center for PTSD, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, California, USA "What distinguishes this book from every other volume on trauma is the message of hope. Zoellner and Feeny are to be congratulated. An international 'who's who' in trauma focuses on how to foster resilience following trauma, a goal we all need to emphasize for our patients, our students, and ourselves. With rich clinical material, the contributors cover the gamut from children to military, acute interventions to dissociation and pain. A 'must read' for clinicians and graduate students who wish to stay abreast of the latest thinking on trauma and recovery."- Barbara O. Rothbaum, Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia, USA
