Accidents on the road are so common place in our lives today it's easy
to believe that there are plenty of support systems in place for the
victims. Death and injuries on the road are construed primarily as
medico-legal phenomena, re-inforced both by the way accidents are
described and by issues of insurance and compensation for damage and
personal injury. But there are many profound psychological and social
consequences that remain underestimated. Margaret Mitchell has
compiled this collection from leading researchers to examine this
neglected area for the unseen victims: the families who have to cope
with bereavement or a disabled relative, the driver who has killed but
is medically uninjured. It will be of great direct value to
psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals and will
serve as a useful reference for those in the legal profession,
voluntary associations and those with personal experience of road,
traffic, accidents needing advice about where to seek further help.
