Current Trauma Reading

RantWoman reads, desultorily while trying to parse tables as they get read aloud: Trauma Stewardship: an everyday guide to caring for self while caring for others by Laura van Dermool Lipsky and Connie Burk

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_14?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=trauma%20stewardship%20an%20everyday%20guide%20to%20caring%20for%20self%20while%20caring%20for%20others&sprefix=trauma+steward%2Cstripbooks%2C694


Especially after reading this article, http://hnn.us/article/148298  RantWoman means to read Chronicling Trauma: Journalists and Writers on Violence and Loss by Doug Underwood.
http://www.amazon.com/Chronicling-Trauma-Journalists-Violence-Communication/dp/0252036409/ref=la_B001HD14H2_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347488071&sr=1-1



Quibbles:

--RantWoman read fast and did not hear a single woman mentioned in the interview. RantWoman finds herself with interesting reflections on this point. Are there no women journalists whose traumas might illuminate something about their writing. Or is the world of women just too different so that such stories would better be written and analyzed by a woman?

--RantWoman suspects based on description of lots of table that she might find some of the content hard to absorb orally and will aim for reading options that allow visual enlargement too.
