Author Description

What is the best way to act when around someone who has just been through a serious or traumatic incident? What if the affected individual is someone that you work with, or an employee? What should you say and do- if anything at all? The answers to these and other questions are not straightforward and may surprise you. In this book Dr. Eva Roman has created a useful and very instructive book for anyone involved or exposed to traumatic incidents. It very clearly outlines how to approach and care for the mindset of victims of such events. It looks in detail at the essential qualities of such care givers as well as the necessary steps one should take when seeking to provide support to those who are suffering. It examines the necessary skills such as befriending, listening, communication and other practical skills, and also considers what are the caregivers own needs. This is a must read book for care giving professionals or anyone who works with, interacts with, or knows someone who is recovering from a major incident or traumatic event.
