The library provides access to a range of books on various types of trauma and their effects on individuals, communities, and societies. Use the Catalog Search Box on this page to find books in our collection. Remember that you can expand your search to other libraries for access to additional materials. For a selected list of books on trauma, see the Perspectives on Trauma tab on this guide.
Books are shelved in general subject categories using the Library of Congress classification system. You may want to supplement your use of the catalog with browsing shelf areas for your topic. Below is a brief listing of some of the subject locations in the field of philosophy.
