This book attempts to break new ground in the field of traumatology. As the field has advanced in its scientific knowledge, it has also become more globalized in nature as this body of scientific and clinical information has been utilized in nearly all parts of the world, especially in situations of disaster (e.g., 2004 Tsunami; Hurricane Katrina), wars (e.g., Iraq, Bosnia), political oppression and genocide (e.g., Darfur, Sudan), and to other types of traumatic events.
