Disaster Mental Health Case Studies is a riveting collection of case studies by master clinicians that reveal how disaster mental health interventions must be tailored to meet the needs of survivors. Each unique case study is structured to give the reader an introduction to the community affected pre-disaster; a glimpse into the thought processes of the disaster mental health responders pre- and post-disaster; and a reflective selection of lessons learned as a result of the experiences. The 17 case studies offer the reader:\n\n--Guidance on how to develop an empathic approach to disaster mental health response; \n--Exposure to a diverse sample of disaster contexts, including naturally-occurring disasters, human-caused disasters, and disasters which occurred in an international setting; \n--An understanding of the strategic approaches needed for disaster mental health service response, as well as an appreciation of the need for self-care when responding; \n--A grounded and accessible .
