<p> Linda Austin M.D., has produced a well-organized guide to aid interventions in disaster communities. This often overlooked aspect of psychiatric care should be a part of the armamentarium of all community psychiatrists and part of every community's disaster response plan. This book should be in every community mental health center's library and on the reference list of each district branch. -- Psychiatric Times
