Internet use in the aftermath of trauma
\"The Internet has become an essential fact in the workplace, more necessary in some ways than the telephone or even what we now describe as paper mail. The Internet is especially important for professionals who are interested in trauma, to facilitate rapid information support following disasters and connect international experts to participate in the response. But the utility of the Internet in the field of trauma studies extends far beyond disaster response.Internet Use in the Aftermath of Trauma is a valuable resource because it comprehensively presents the range of ways the Internet can be used. These include networking with colleagues and as a means of self-expression; to conduct research; to provide information for trauma survivors and the general public and to educate professionals; to conduct early assessment and intervention following a trauma, and to deliver intervention for long-term problems. The chapters illustrate the creative ideas of a group of professionals on the cutting edge in the field of trauma studies.Some of us can remember what the world was like before the Internet even existed, although others have experienced their entire professional career in a connected world. Internet Use in the Aftermath of Trauma has much to offer for both audiences.\"Paula P.

The Inner History of Devices
For more than two decades, in such landmark studies asThe Second SelfandLife on the Screen, Sherry Turkle has challenged our collective imagination with her insights about how technology enters our private worlds. InThe Inner History of Devices, she describes her process, an approach that reveals how what we make is woven into our ways of seeing ourselves. She brings together three traditions of listening -- that of the memoirist, the clinician, and the ethnographer. Each informs the others to compose an inner history of devices. We read about objects ranging from cell phones and video poker to prosthetic eyes, from Web sites and television to dialysis machines. In an introductory essay, Turkle makes the case for an \"intimate ethnography\" that challenges conventional wisdom. One personal computer owner tells Turkle: \"This computer means everything to me. It's where I put my hope.\" Turkle explains that she began that conversation thinking she would learn how people put computers to work. By its end, her question has changed: \"What was there about personal computers that offered such deep connection? What did a computer have that offered hope?\"The Inner History of Devicesteaches us to listen for the answer. In the memoirs, ethnographies, and clinical cases collected in this volume, we read about an American student who comes to terms with her conflicting identities as she contemplates a cell phone she used in Japan (\"Tokyo sat trapped inside it\"); a troubled patient who uses email both to criticize her therapist and to be reassured by her; a compulsive gambler who does not want to win steadily at video poker because a pattern of losing and winning keeps her more connected to the body of the machine. In these writings, we hear untold stories. We learn that received wisdom never goes far enough.
