For those who think that 2012 is the year for Armageddon, then you might take courage from this book on mass trauma and its companion book on individual trauma. The stories about disasters and traumas in the book span the globe, with a focus on the people from Australia, African, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Japan, Sri Lanka, and the USA. This book comes at a time when mass disasters and mass trauma abound. It is impossible to turn on the television and not see incidents of floods, earthquakes, wildfires, avalanches, and every kind of natural disaster, competing with air space with the latest updates on wars, terrorism, mass murders, civil unrest, famine and mass migration.

Preface; Poem: The Tsunami of Despair; Overview: Mass Trauma Affects Whole Communities; Implementing Collective Approaches to Massive Trauma/Loss in Western Contexts; Rethinking the Moral Positioning of Trauma; Using the Individualism-Collectivism Construct to Understand Cultural Differences in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; Assessing Resilience in the Aftermath of Mass Trauma; Community Change after Mass Homicide; The Legacy of the Nazi Holocaust.
