Terrorism Work
IDA's international work has focused on the psychology of terrorism. In August 2004, IDA brought together 90 of the world's experts on managing fear and terror to develop a menu of strategies for managing the psychology of fear and terror from the individual to the global. These strategies were published in a White Paper, Managing the Psychology of Fear and Terror: Strategies for Governments, Communities, Individuals and Service Providers and a film: BEYOND FEAR, Finding Hope in the Horror. In September 2006, this documentary was screened on Capitol Hill, as part of the commemoration of the fifth anniversary of September 11, 2001. The four Congressmen who Co-Chair the two Congressional Caucuses dealing with mental health, co-hosted this screening. Additional screenings are planned in the Parliaments of other countries, including Australia and Canada.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“... my last work is no sooner on the stands than letters come, suggesting a subject. The grandmothers of strangers are crying from the grave, it seems, for literary recognition; it is bewildering, the number of salty grandfathers, aunts and uncles that languish unappreciated.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
