Description - Disaster Psychiatry by Anand A. Pandya

What emerges from these testimonies is compelling documentation of skilled and compassionate psychiatrists at the outer limits of their specialty, pursuing their calling into uncharted realms of humanitarian assistance and therapeutic engagement. About Disaster Psychiatry Outreach; Disaster Psychiatry Outreach, Inc. was founded by Drs. Pandya and Katz in 1998, and has since responded to the Swissair Flight 111 crash; the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash; two earthquakes in El Salvador; the American Airlines Flight 587 crash; the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and the Anthrax scare (at Rockefeller Center and ABC studios in New York) that followed 9/11. DPO received the Tom Levin Award for Community Activism for its response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. The award was jointly presented by the World Association and the American Association of Psychosocial Rehabilitation at a special ceremony at the United Nations.
