Recovery from Psycho-trauma

SUMMARY

Role of faith & resilience in recovery from traumatic events is a common observation. Recent experience with the earthquake victims in NWFP & AJK clearly demonstrated the positive effects of faith & resilience. Faith in God Almighty was a major factor in strengthening resilience and promoting recovery from traumatic stress disorders.

Author suggests partnering media in resilience promotion and capacity building of the disaster affected population and developing psychotherapeutic techniques to enhance the natural resilience and strength in victims of psycho-trauma.
