| Summary: | Zimbardo, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus Psychology Stanford University, Past President APA and WPA, William James Book of the Year Award In the true spirit of the practitioner-scholar model, this timely compendium based on the work of notable psychologists from around the world offers fresh perspectives to practitioners and researchers to address the consequences of the COVID pandemic and to help them prepare for future ones. —V. K. Kumar, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, West Chester University of Pennsylvania An outstanding compilation of visionary accomplishments during the Pandemic by extraordinary leaders in the profession. Addressing the unique challenges and opportunities across the life span, the Lessons Learned hold great promise for the future. Interprofessional collaboration, technological innovations, and the importance of therapeutic empathy remain critical. —Pat DeLeon, former APA President This group of psychologists, led by experts from the trauma division of the American Psychological Association, grew into a multidisciplinary group of volunteers who dedicated themselves to learning to address these challenges and to document their learning so that other healthcare providers could benefit. The result is a valuable record of those challenges and lessons learned from multiple perspectives, international affiliates, and creative new methods. The world needs caregivers who can meet the rapidly changing challenges, and this book can help teach and train others to do so. I highly recommend it for graduate students, volunteers, and healthcare providers. —Philip G. Pandemic Providers could not be more timely, given the Covid-19 pandemic and those yet to come. The book’s editors and chapter authors are skilled professionals who had to work their way through uncharted territories, creating a roadmap for the intrepid practitioners who are dealing not only with the current health crisis but also for those who will deal with pandemics yet to come. It is written in a lively, reader-friendly manner that allows its insights to be put to immediate use. —Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Affiliated Distinguished Faculty, California Institute of Integral Studies. Co-author Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: Biography of a Disease The sudden onset of the pandemic left many psychologists unprepared for the traumas caused by complex and new challenges. |
