Review of her book "Relative Balance in an Unstable World: A Search for New Models for Trauma Education and Recovery":

"Anngwyn St. Just writes, "If we are to meet our oncoming challenges of natural and man made disasters, contagious diseases, wars and revolution, ethnic cleansing, terrorism and other forms of violence all over the world, new paradigms are essential" Dr. St Just urges her readers to awaken to a realization that trauma is a global issue and to an urgent need to develop international, culturally appropriate, cost effective, trauma education and recovery programs based upon easily transmitted concepts. "Given the increasing numbers of people identified as trauma survivors," she continues, " and the increasing pressure of steadily rising health care costs, it is clear that we are moving in the direction of crisis.As the ancient Chinese proverb advises , If we do not change directions, we are likely to wind up where we are going". This immensely readable volume offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in individual and social trauma."
