Abstract

Throughout history, times of massive destruction create an atmosphere of chaos that compels individuals to face the terror of unanticipated injury, loss, and death. During natural or man-made disasters, war, and acts of terror, psychological injury may occur on its own or in conjunction with physical injury. This psychological trauma may occur following exposure to the injury and death of others, the disruption of the physical environment, or as a consequence of the terror and helplessness that these events combine to evoke. The views expressed in this chapter are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy of the Department of Army/Navy/Air Force, Department of Defense, or U.S. Government. The identification of specific products or scientific instrumentation is considered an integral part of the scientific endeavor and does not constitute endorsement or implied endorsement on the part of the author, DoD, or any component agency.
