Patrice Jones. Aftershock: Confronting Emotional Trauma in a Violent World. A Handbook for Activists and Their Supporters

This book was written by anarchist feminist, radical animal rights activist, and psychotherapist Patrice Jones. Patrice knows firsthand the dangers of fighting for social justice, how to cope with them, and what she calls aftershock—the psychological echoes of traumatic events that are an integral part of this struggle.

Here are practical tips for preventing aftershocks and mitigating the effects of activist trauma—for individuals, groups, communities, and therapists. This is a fresh perspective that can strengthen the fight in difficult times.
