Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide for managers and co-workers who want to foster the emotional recovery process of traumatized employees returning to the workplace. For trauma survivors, returning to work can be a difficult process. It can also be difficult for managers and co-workers to know how to help. This guide offers authoritative, actionable advice on how to treat colleagues after an experience such as a violent accident, rape, armed robbery, the diagnosis of a terminal illness, or a loved one’s suicide or sudden death. All too often, the trauma is left unacknowledged because no one is sure of the “right” thing to do or say. This can lead to feelings of alienation or resentment and make the recovery process difficult. Dr. Barbara Barski-Carrow offers a straightforward primer full of practical examples on how to support survivors and help them truly return to work.

Download or read book Trauma and Recovery written by Judith Lewis Herman and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.

Download or read book Trauma written by Selma Leydesdorff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic experiences and their consequences are often the core of life stories told by survivors of violence. In Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors leading academics explore the relationship between the experiences of terror and helplessness that have caused trauma, the ways in which survivors remember, and the representation of these memories in the language and form of their life stories.International case studies include the migration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, the life stories of Guatemalan war widows, violence in South Africa, persecution of political prisoners in South Africa and the former Czechoslovakia, lynching in the Mississippi Delta, resistance in Zimbabwe's liberation war, sexual abuse, and the ongoing Irish troubles. The volume reveals the complexity of remembering and forgetting traumatic experiences, and shows that survivors are likely to express themselves in stories containing elements that are imaginary, fragmented, and loaded with symbolism. Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors is a groundbreaking work of relevance across the social sciences. This new perspective on trauma will be of particular importance to researchers in psychology, history, women's studies, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies.

Download or read book Examining the Benefits of Massage Therapy For Survivors of Sexual and Domestic Violence written by Audra Hixson and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2006-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women experience sexual and domestic violence at alarmingly high rates. Recovery from this type of trauma can be a complex and extensive process, that in best cases, involves a broad network for support. This dissertation examined the experiences of women over the age of 21 who have received massage therapy during their healing process from sexual or domestic violence. For the purposes of this study, the women who participated were often referred to as survivors of abuse. Current research examined in the literature review indicates that the effects of this type of trauma are multifaceted and that one of the interventions sought for diminishing the effects of this trauma is massage. The importance of this study, completed with the use of descriptive research methodology, included the opportunity to gain information from abuse survivors about their personal experiences with massage and how they can best be served by the massage therapist. The results of a self report survey and interview process provide valuable information to raise awareness of these societal issues among massage professionals. While the subjects were not interviewed about their specific experiences of abuse, they provided important information about the effects that these experiences have had on their lives. Further, the women interviewed shared information about the concerns that they had with regard to massage therapy and some of the specific experiences that they have had during massage sessions. Although the sample size was small, with 10 women interviewed, the information provided has clear implications for the practice of massage therapy. Some of the implications found involve therapist gender, trust building between client and practitioner, and communication with the client during massage therapy sessions. Recommendations for massage professionals have been made based on these findings. Further research opportunities exist in several areas and include screening massage clients for abuse during the intake process, examining the challenges for male massage therapists and female massage therapists, and evaluating the massage educational institutions for training in issues of trauma particular to sexual and domestic violence.
