'I can see clearly now': clarifying the role of psychiatry in global disaster
1Launceston General Hospital, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.
Objective:
First, to review the principles and practice of disaster psychiatry, in light of recent global events. Second, to identify opportunities for research.
Method:
A literature review of the MEDLINE database, UpToDate and the Cochrane Library was conducted. Reference lists were also reviewed.
Results:
Psychiatrists are well-positioned to contribute to positive outcomes at all stages of the disaster response. These contributions derive from their roles as doctors, mental illness specialists and clinical leaders.
Conclusion:
A novel framework for the psychiatrist's contributions was proposed. Specific knowledge of disaster psychiatry may be worthwhile, and establishment of a public disaster psychiatry centre is reasonable. Research should further examine the role of tele-psychiatry and pursue a best practice for community and front-line employee psychological preparedness.
