Download or read book Encyclopedia of Trauma written by Charles R. Figley and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 905 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma is defined as a sudden, potentially deadly experience, often leaving lasting, troubling memories. Traumatology (the study of trauma, its effects, and methods to modify effects) is exploding in terms of published works and expanding in terms of scope. Originally a narrow specialty within emergency medicine, the field now extends to trauma psychology, military psychiatry and behavioral health, post-traumatic stress and stress disorders, trauma social work, disaster mental health, and, most recently, the subfield of history and trauma, with sociohistorical examination of long-term effects and meanings of major traumas experienced by whole communities and nations, both natural (Pompeii, Hurricane Katrina) and man-made (the Holocaust, 9/11). One reason for this expansion involves important scientific breakthroughs in detecting the neurobiology of trauma that is connecting biology with human behavior, which in turn, is applicable to all fields involving human thought and response, including but not limited to psychiatry, medicine and the health sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, the humanities, and law. Researchers within these fields and more can contribute to a universal understanding of immediate and long-term consequences–both good and bad–of trauma, both for individuals and for broader communities and institutions. Trauma encyclopedias published to date all center around psychological trauma and its emotional effects on the individual as a disabling or mental disorder requiring mental health services. This element is vital and has benefited from scientific and professional breakthroughs in theory, research, and applications. Our encyclopedia certainly will cover this central element, but our expanded conceptualization will include the other disciplines and will move beyond the individual.

Book excerpt: This textbook aims to educate students across all mental health disciplines on the importance of using strengths-based resilience as a tool when working with military families. Organized into three main sections using the military deployment cycle, including the stages of pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment, this textbook examines some of the key resiliency skills that operate in military families so that students can understand how many families not only survive, but learn how to thrive, during great challenges. Chapters address the military at home, resilient family systems, the importance of effective communication and social support, the impact of trauma and moral injury, and the transition from military to civilian life following service. Filled with case vignettes, self-assessment tools, and evidence-informed interventions, readers learn multiple ways to measure, assess, and strengthen family resiliency throughout the book. In addition to these skills, specific examples are highlighted that draw lessons from the military community on stress management and posttraumatic growth in the context of family life. The book finishes with an appendix that includes suggestions for therapists on the use of cultural humility to improve treatment. Following two decades of war and a global pandemic, this essential textbook is a crucial read for all mental health professionals training to work with miliary-connected populations and their families. Professionals from disciplines including clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, psychology, healthcare, and theology as well as instructors of courses on military social work, military psychology, and mental health will all find this text an invaluable resource.

This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timeless teachings of Chanakya, the eminent philosopher and royal advisor from ancient India, contain profound insights that remain remarkably relevant for modern business leadership and strategy. Chanakya's seminal treatise, the Arthashastra, covers diverse topics from governance, economics and leadership to strategy, warfare and foreign policy. Studying this influential historical work reveals principles and perspectives that can help executives tackle contemporary organizational challenges in an increasingly complex global business environment. In this book, we explore key selections from Chanakya's teachings spanning ethics, decision-making, financial management, risk mitigation, crisis response, competitive strategy, marketing, and human resources. The goal is to rediscover the time-tested wisdom contained in Indian classical texts and see its powerful applicability through examples of contemporary global corporations successfully manifesting these ancient lessons. For instance, Chanakya's advice on pragmatic flexibility and situational adaptation has guided firms like Ola as they navigate market disruptions. His cultural assimilation principles have helped Starbucks localize in diverse regions worldwide. Chanakya's emphasis on holistic risk management finds a modern parallel in how companies like Intel structurally embed organizational resilience. Thus, this book illustrates how diverse leading organizations across industries manifest timeless insights from the Arthashastra to tackle modern challenges. Executives aiming to build distinctive leadership capabilities will find Chanakya's teachings remarkably relevant alongside current management thinking. By blending broad perspective with practical solutions, and farsightedness with ethical grounding, the Indian genius Chanakya provides a framework for principled leadership enabling organizations to sustain excellence amidst turbulence. It is my hope that this book will inspire readers everywhere to assimilate the timeless wisdom of one of history's foremost strategic thinkers. Chanakya, the master strategist, and philosopher from ancient India, authored the profoundly influential Arthashastra treatise outlining pragmatic governance policies and leadership strategies. This book highlights the surprising relevance of Chanakya's teachings for modern business leaders. His practical wisdom guided the creation of a mighty empire in turbulent times – principles that global executives can adapt to steer organizational excellence and resilient growth today. The book covers topics like crisis management, competitive strategy, financial stewardship, organizational design, risk mitigation, branding, and more – illustrating how corporates worldwide are effectively applying Chanakya's lessons spanning over two millennia. For instance, his emphasis on rapid adaptation is manifested in Apple's business model pivots, while his advice on prudent financial buffers and ecosystem alliances has empowered firms like Amazon and Starbucks. Throughout, real company examples demonstrate the assimilation of Chanakya's futuristic management philosophy. This timely book rediscovers the ancient Indian strategist's extraordinarily progressive and multidimensional insights on statecraft. Mastering Chanakya's ethical, pragmatic, and humanistic teachings remains imperative for global leaders navigating intensely dynamic conditions today. By harmonizing these ancient lessons with cutting-edge technologies and delivery models, visionary executives can build robust, purpose-driven organizations that sustain excellence through the 21st century.
