Summary:"Throughout the world, there is a rising need for humanitarian aid. Enormous resources are being devoted to it; more organizations carry out cooperative projects; and emergency actions have grown to unprecedented levels
However, such expansion has not always meant that relief has been adequately provided to victims, nor has it always had positive effects in reconstructing the social fabric."
"This book helps us to understand how people respond to traumatic experiences in extraordinary circumstances and to appreciate the social and cultural context in which these responses occur
