The sudden onset of the pandemic left many psychologists unprepared for the traumas caused by complex and new challenges. 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.
