This week on The Infinite Mind: "The Road to Recovery"
Listen to this this week's show Listen to "The Road to Recovery" in streaming RealAudio (click here). To download free RealAudio player click here.
The Infinite Mind presents the second in our series of special reports on the psychological impact of Hurricane Katrina. Last week, we looked at conditions “In the Wake of the Storm.” This week, The Infinite Mind continues its coverage with “The Road to Recovery” (airing the week starting September 14th, 2005.)
With thousands dead, tens of thousands homeless and a mass exodus from the Gulf Coast, what can we expect the impact will be over the next few months. What will it take for the nation to heal?
"The Road to Recovery," features the nation’s top psychiatrist, Dr.Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, who discusses the impact of Hurricane Katrina, and says "let's rebuild the mental health system, and do it better."
Also, historian James Gregory takes us back 70 years to a time when hundreds of thousands of Oklahoma residents fled natural disaster and wandered the country in search of a better life. He identifies a growing concern about the sustainability of America's sympathy, based on the history of public sentiment about migrants of all backgrounds in previous times.
We hear from sociologist Betty Morrow, who specializes in disaster recovery, about the experiences of those affected by Hurricane Andrew. She says Katrina victims will need lots of help and that the nation is likely to forget about them in a short while.
We also speak with the directors of the National Center for Post Traumatic Stress and the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, Drs. Matthew Friedman and Alan Steinberg, and examine mental health right now and expectations for the coming months. They provide helpful tips for self and family care. And we take a trip to Poccotola, Mississippi where a remarkable camp has been set up to shelter and treat the families with autistic children who survived the hurricane.
Plus, commentary from John Hockenberry.
Please make a transcript available of John Hockenberry's comments about his sense of rage at the lack of leadership during Katrina. It was fantastic.

I just want to say how moved I was by Mr. Hockenberry's commentary on the SHAME of the mishandling of emergency services before and after the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina. He really nailed it. I've received emails from family and friends from around the world asking how this could happen in the richest, most powerful country in the world.
In classic Olympic jargon Mr. H. gets 10's all the way.
Thank you.

How can I get a transcript of Hockenberry's commentary? I would like to share it with family because he captured the anger we feel here in Michigan. We're asking questions but feel frustrated that it will be just more of the same from our "great country and government". Thank you.
