TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Disoriented grief: A lens through which to view the experience of Katrina evacuees JO - Journal of social work in end-of-life and palliative care A1 - Malone, Pamela A. A1 - Pomeroy, Elizabeth C. A1 - Jones, Barbara L. SP - 241 EP - 262 VL - 7 IS - 2-3 N2 - Many studies on the impact of natural disasters have focused primarily on immediate stress reactions and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms rather than on evacuees' stories of grief and loss. Known categories of grief and loss do not fully capture the experiences of disaster survivors as evidenced by interviews of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Austin, Texas. This article will describe their experiences through a resultant framework of Disoriented Grief.
