TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Towards the next millennium: disaster mental health - learning from the past and planning for the future JO - Traumatology A1 - Doherty, George W. SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - 5 IS - 2 N2 - The twentieth century has produced many advances, miracles, and improvements, but has also had many losses, traumas, and major disasters harmful to the human race. This article presents a brief overview of articles in this Special Issue. It also suggests that there is a need for a comprehensive, coherent body of knowledge which underlies and defines a general model of Disaster Mental Health and calls for research to look at each area of Disaster Mental Health and develop a general model or template which can be tested through planning, application and outcome research.
