Abstract

Throughout human history life on earth has been threatened by all kinds of man-made disasters.

The instruments of men, when turned against mankind, set off an almost inevitable chain of effects and events, of which not the least are psychological in nature. It is, however, only comparatively recently that we have developed the concepts and frameworks that make it possible to interpret and predict the psychic consequences of man-made disasters.
