Abstract
Psychology of catastrophic event is collective monograph; it consists of eight chapters. Each of them describes (from different points of view) great Czech floods 2002 and their (namely psychic) aftermath.
Four chapters (including mentioned one) are created on the basis of research done on nearly 500 households interviewed one year after floods. Two chapters are based on practical description of psychosocial assistance during and after floods, one tries to give some inspiration for organizing it.
Only one chapter is not written by psychologists or psychosocial workers; it puts floods into historical context and into context of other natural disasters.
