"Dr. Shamai offers both wisdom and science in her exploration of collective trauma and how to intervene in its wake. She engages the reader in a dialogue that stirs thoughtful insights, but does not pretend to offer all the answers. Her book is an unusually intelligent, mature contribution that will be appealing to both clinicians and researchers involved in understanding and responding to terrorism, war, disaster, and mass casualty."—Stevan E. Hobfoll, PhD, Presidential Professor and Chair of Rush Medical College, Chicago. "Finally, an immensely readable work on trauma that brings a systems perspective to this complex area of practice. This work will be useful to any social worker or other mental health care provider who needs to understand how large scale traumatic events affect people for generations. With examples drawn from around the world, and practical approaches to intervention, the book provides a much needed guide to what makes an event traumatic, and how we can help people experience resilience afterwards."—Michael Ungar, PhD, Director, Resilience Research Centre, Dalhousie University.
