%X This article maps some of the key contextual issues for this volume. Stating the challenges posed by the 'new normality' thrust upon the world by the September 11 attacks, it reviews historical trends and definitional distinctions, including non-state, state and state-sponsored terrorism, and the international institutional and legal structures for combating it. The introduction proposes a multidimensional, multidisciplinary, integrative framework conceptualizing the consequences of the trauma of terrorism and informing optimal interventions. It critically reviews formulations in existing nosologies and summarizes the volume, addressing consequences and mitigation of terrorism's effects on people, communities, societies, and nations.<p />
