The psychological impact of natural disasters is profound - and affects not only those who experienced the disaster, but relief workers, media professionals, and family members. On the next "Voices in the Family," we'll discuss what's known about treating trauma, and what fosters resilience, and makes communities less vulnerable to PTSD. Dr. Gottlieb will be joined by Siddharth Ashvin Shah, a specialist in preventative medicine who trains relief workers, Penn child trauma specialist Steven Berkowitz, and University of Miami psychology professor Guerda Nicolas. We'll also be joined by WHYY's Susan Phillips, who recently returned from reporting on the earthquake in Haiti.

It is a controversial diagnosis, and may be revised in the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. For the approximately one percent of Americans affected by this disorder, maintaining relationships, employment, and friendships are very difficult. They tend to self-injure, and are at high risk for suicide. Their families often become the anchor that keeps them safe. Dan Gottlieb and his guests will discuss BPD - what it is, how its being treated, and its impact on one's life and family. Our guests are Talya Lewis and Edie Mannion. Lewis helps facilitate support groups, teaches seminars, and consults people on BPD. Mannion is the director of the Training and Education Center at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania. We will also hear from Prof. Marsha Linehan, who developed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder that is showing great promise.
