Towards the Classification of Disasters and Victims

Ajw Taylor

School of Psychology Victoria University PO Box 600, Wellington NZ

An emerging schema for classifying previously disparate phenomena relating to disasters and victims is presented, and its rationale given. It was borne of necessity after the 1979 DC 10 crash on Mt. Erebus in Antarctica, when reports of previous research studies of different kinds of disasters were found to be widely scattered conceptually and graphically, and it was modified in the light of further experience. It is presented with the hope that other researchers and clinicians might find it helpful as they try to draw fragments together of the wider picture of humanity in situations of catastrophe.
