description: Tested in the real world of natural and technological disasters, as well as disasters of human design, this critically important new volume provides an unprecedented breadth and depth of coverage of the theory and research that must surround psychosocial intervention for children and families following disasters. Examined from cognitive and behavioral, family systems, and ecological perspectives, When Their World Falls Apart is a thought-provoking text that combines the international, cross-cultural, empirical, theoretical, and interdisciplinary expertise of four distinguished international authors. Many special activities throughout the book bridge the gap between cognitive and affective learning. Readers who seek to be educated before disaster strikes have 'struck gold' in this publication. It presents not only the content of our disaster knowledge in digestible form, but also stimulates critical thinking and application of the knowledge in a classroom or professional development setting. The Touching Reality and history-based vignettes make this a unique and intriguing teaching tool for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for professional audiences.
