Human Bonds Can Buffer the Effects of Trauma or Serve as Vehicle for Transmission, Says P&S' Schechter
Terrorism has a way of creating a mental health pathogen, and human bonds, relationships, can make people resilient or vulnerable, says Daniel Schechter, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry. The book "September 11: Trauma and Human Bonds," which Schechter co-edited with Columbia professors Susan Coates and Jane Rosenthal, reports that human bonds can buffer the effects of trauma or serve as a vehicle for transmission of trauma.
