This book provides students with a comprehensive overview of crisis, trauma, and disaster that is written in a student-friendly way with examples and case illustrations. In addition, the book is written with professional developmental stages in mind so the information can be scaffolded if used in their course. The unique thing is that the authors discuss group application and provide actual examples of assessments and models that can be used or easily researched.
