The issue of the mental health consequences of disasters is always timely, but, at present, its consideration serves a pressing need if one takes into account the great number of co-existing and super-imposed disasters occurring throughout the world.Taking Greece as an example, on top of the economic disaster that has produced serious mental health problems, the country is faced with a serious refugee problem produced by human-made disasters that have occurred elsewhere and produce serious mental health problems to the refugees and the host population alike.This volume deals with the mental health consequences of Natural Disasters, Human-made Disasters, and a third category, Economic Disasters.This volume will help contribute to more efficient management and mitigation of the mental health effects of such disasters.
