The Human Touch and Mass Catastrophe

摘要

The valuable review by Hobfoll and his colleagues is an important distillation of recent science and previous work that can inform early response to those affected by mass violence. The five themes endorsed through this consensus process fit well with those identified through a range of other sources, including concepts such as psychological first aid and extending into the subsequent early intervention phase as the emergency settles.- In many ways this review provides a challenge, or indeed to many challenges, for those who wish to take this field forward.
