'Managing the Psychology of Fear and Terror: Strategies for Governments, Service Providers, Communities and Individuals' 2004
Film
'Beyond Fear' (2005) is a documentary exploring the psychological impact of fear and terror through the eyes of those who have suffered and those whose job it is to help them manage their everyday fear and terror.
One outgrowth of the first International Assembly on Managing the Psychology of Fear and Terror was the creation of a documentary designed to express the findings of the assembly. Beyond Fear: Finding Hope in the Horror is a documentary film that uses interviews with survivors of terrorism, psychologists and others working in the field of trauma research, and attendees at the International Assembly to explore the psychological consequences of severe trauma and how individuals and organizations can respond to these consequences. Beyond Fear is available in 54 minute and 20 minute versions. It is also available in PAL and NTSC formats.
