Beschreibungen
<p></p><p>Written by prominent proponents of disaster mental health and/or positive psychology, this comprehensive book examines disaster mental health and positive psychology in the context of natural and technological disasters. Chapters in the first section focus on applications of meaning and resilience in the area of disaster mental health, both serving as primary examples of applications of positive psychology and related frameworks. Later chapters focus more specifically on key aspects of disaster mental health, including the importance of preparedness, training, and special populations. Contributors consistently align their insights with positive psychological approaches, either by explicitly referencing their relevance or alluding less directly to themes in positive psychology.</p><p>Among the topics discussed:</p><p></p><ul><li>The role of religion and spirituality in finding meaning after disasters</li><li>Veterans and disaster response work</li><li>Firefighters: an occupational case study of resilience</li><li>Strategies for responding to adolescents following natural and technological disasters</li><li>Effective crisis response for facilitating posttraumatic growth</li></ul><p></p><i>Positive Psychological Approaches to Disaster: Meaning, Resilience, and Posttraumatic Growth</i> is a significant and timely collection of research, representing an effort of internationally respected scholars in positive psychology and disaster mental health.<p></p><p></p>
