Gioventu` Duemila – Youth 2000
|
|
It was the 15th anniversary
of Chernobyl and 25 years since the Vietnam war ended. In Miami a bereaved
five year old boy hit the headlines as he became a pawn in an international
battle he could not comprehend.
And in Fabriano, almost two years after the ’97 earthquake, students and
professionals met to discuss, role play and tell stories of these and other
sources of traumatic stress.
Although this book was inspired by
research conducted on school children after the Italian earthquake and
includes presentations from our Italian conference, it’s scope is wide.
Chapters cover traumatic stress as induced by disasters such as earthquakes,
floods and fire and the more personal disasters of abuse, violence and
bereavement.
We look at coping strategies and the
pathological reactions of acute stress and post traumatic stress focussing
on the effects on families and the young. Traumatic stress and PTSD arising from a variety of situations - natural disasters, man made trauma, abuse and violence. Includes earthquake study from Italy and report of Conference Youth Support Italia - Gioventu` Duemila. Also available as - Lo Stress Traumatico - in Italian version.
