This collection of 17 papers addresses the variety of ways the Internet can be used in the aftermath of traumatic events. While the Internet can be used to quickly provide information support after disasters and just as quickly bring in international expertise to help with the response, the Internet can be used in ways beyond disaster response. Topics include: self-expression on the Internet, researching with the Internet, assessment, and intervention. Editors Brunet (psychiatry, McGill U.), Ashbaugh (postdoctoral fellow, Douglas Mental Health U. Institute, Canada, and McGill U.), Herbert (clinical psychologist, PhD student, McGill U.), and 28 co-authors contributed to the book.
