"This month in Special Topics, the focus is on terrorism. On the 10-year papers list, there are three prominent areas of research: psychological reactions to terrorism, specifically the 9/11 terror attacks; reports of the 2001 anthrax outbreak; and the more general psychological construct known as terror management. Other issues covered in the past decade include public health preparedness for bioterrorism, the potential for a smallpox bioterror incident, the concept of immune system recognition of foreign DNA as a cure for bioterrorism, laws with regard to antiterrorism, and the economic impact of prevention and post-intervention in terror attacks.
In the past two years, the focus remains largely on issues related to 9/11: post-terrorism post-traumatic stress disorder, resilience and emotions post-9/11, and surgical response to 9/11, to name a few. Other topics garnering attention in the past two years include studies of suicide bombers’ reasoning, the pathology and pathogenesis of the 2001 anthrax outbreak, and several studies looking at potential surveillance measures for bioterrorism. The papers are not limited to US-related terrorist attacks; two papers also look at terrorist attacks and patient care in Israel."
