An author and psychologist was invited to give a lecture on psychotherapy after natural disasters in Jiangsu, attended by more than ten people, including some who are hearing impaired.
In the Nanjing Vineyard Bookstore in the Gulou district on November 13, before the lecture, Shirley Feng, a clinical psychotherapist and professor, first asked the deaf believers whether their hearing loss was congenital or acquired. She said, "Generally speaking, the acquired disabilities cause more personal psychological trauma. Despite the hearing impairment and social isolation, the deaf believers’ spirits still can connect with God, so we can gather here to share our feelings."
Afterward, Feng talked about the original intention of her book Psychologist Notes - An Analysis and Reflection on Psychological Crisis Intervention Cases in Earthquakes in Wenchuan of Sichuan and Yushu of Qinghai. She said in recent years, some places in China encountered many major natural disasters, including earthquakes in Wenchuan of Sichuan in 2008, Yushu of Qinghai in 2010, Ya'an of Sichuan in 2013, and Ludian of Yunnan in 2014. While these natural catastrophes had caused significant economic losses to local areas, they had also dealt an indelible and heavy blow to the bodies and minds of the people, she continued. In addition to the people affected by the disasters, many front-line aid workers were also impacted in the long-term miserable environment and suffered psychological problems, resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
However, there is currently no domestic research on psychological trauma treatment after natural disasters, so Feng co-edited this book with her friends Holly Du and Sarah Hung in order to make up for the vacancy.
Feng concluded that to help the people suffering sudden death of relatives caused by natural hazards, they could guide them to express their feelings positively in an atmosphere of sincerity, acceptance, tolerance, respect, and support, and help them reconnect with real life at the same time.

11月13日，《心理医生笔记——汶川/玉树地震心理危机干预个案评析和反省》的作者、心理学专家冯淑仙老师应邀在南京葡萄园书房举行了心理治疗主题分享讲座。十余位听障人士及听人共同参加了此次讲座。
在分享之前，冯老师首先询问了在座的各位聋人弟兄姊妹各自听障的类型：哪些是先天听障、哪些是后天造成的？冯淑仙老师是临床心理治疗师、教授，在了解大家的基本情况后，冯老师鼓励大家道：一般而言，后天造成的残疾对于个人的心理创伤是更大的。但是，尽管听觉拥有障碍，声音与外界隔绝，但弟兄姊妹的心灵依旧是与神相连的，也正因如此，大家才得以欢聚一堂，共同交流彼此的感动。
随后，冯老师简要跟大家介绍了本书的成书初衷：
近年来，中华大地遭遇了多次举国难忘的重大自然灾害，从2008年的汶川，到2010年的青海玉树，再到后来的四川雅安、云南鲁甸都遭遇过破坏性极大的地震灾害。
而这些天灾在给当地造成了重大经济损失的同时，也对灾区人民的身体和心灵造成了难以磨灭的沉重打击。然而，除受灾人民之外，许多曾在一线参与救援的援助人员也在长期悲惨的环境中受到影响，心理都出现了些许问题，从而造成了灾后的心灵创伤（注：创伤后应激障碍）。
可是，当前国内并没有关于天灾之后心理创伤救助的相关研究，为弥补这一层面的空缺，冯老师便联合同行好友余满华老师以及洪丽芬女士共同编撰了此书。
冯老师表示道：面对天灾造成亲人猝逝的这一情况，应该引导、协助当事人在真诚、接纳、宽容、尊重以及支持的环境中正面表达自己的感受，同时助其重新与现实生活连接。
