      abstract = {As the interdependence between human activities and  natural forces on earth grows in instability, disaster  research is maturing as a discipline, employing concepts  and methods from fields as disparate as psychology,  history, and engineering. But psychological studies have  mainly focused on post-disaster pathology or standard  themes of coping, rarely taking cultural factors into  consideration. Cultural Psychology of Coping with Disasters  addresses this omission with an innovative framework for  studying culture-specific concepts of vulnerability and  local forms of resilience. Expert contributors both build  on and transcend traditional clinical ideas to analyze four  distinct dimensions of coping: material, social, life  conduct, and religious. Extensive findings on the 2006 Java  earthquake illustrate both concepts and methods in  real-world detail. And a chapter on villagers' visions of  their future ably demonstrates the balance between the  personal and the collective in coping. Included in the  coverage: Methodological basis of a culture-specific coping  approach. Research ethics: between formal norms and  intentions. Suffering, healing, and the discourse of  trauma. Disaster aid distribution and social conflicts.  Critical perspectives on gender mainstreaming in disaster  contexts. Plus a multidimensional framework for analyzing  the coping process. A truly transdisciplinary work,  Cultural Psychology of Coping with Disasters lends itself  to a wide range of professional, academic, and research  domains, among them disaster psychology, disaster  management/aid, cultural psychology, anthropology, public  policy, and public health.},
