Using the Katrina-Rita nexus as its reference point, \u003cem\u003eLifespan Perspectives on Natural Disasters\u003c\/em\u003e takes the developmental long view on human strengths and vulnerabilities during large-scale devastation and crisis. An expert panel of behavioral scientists and first responders analyzes the psychological impact of natural disasters on—and coping faculties associated with—children, adolescents, and young, middle-aged, older, young-old and late-life oldest-old adults. This timely information is invaluable both to mental health service providers and to those tasked with developing age-appropriate disaster preparedness, intervention, and recovery programs. In addition, the book references other deadly storms as well as other major catastrophic events (e.g., the September 11 attacks, the Indian Ocean Tsunami), and includes such topics as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung children’s understanding of hurricanes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive adjustment in youth after Katrina.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow families make meaning out of disaster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisaster recovery in the workplace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecovery services for the frail elderly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoping and health in late life. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparation and training mental health personnel for disasters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique in the disaster literature, \u003cem\u003eLifespan Perspectives on Natural Disasters\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a research reference and idea book for professionals and graduate-level students in psychology, social work, and disaster preparedness and services.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2009-07-24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441903921\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-0393-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 336\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148644389004,"sku":"9781441903921","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441903921.jpg?v=1779566835","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441903921","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
