The impact of war : studies on the psychological consequences of war and migration

"What are the consequences of experiences of war, such as bombardments, the loss of family members, the destruction of one's house, and on top of these, of flight and migration for psychological well-being? In what way do survivors cope with painful memories, in the short or long run? Is an intervention program offering counselling effective in its attempts to alleviate daily stresses and to strengthen capacities to face future difficulties? The impact of war: Studies on the psychological consequences of war and migration is based on empirical studies conducted among war-stricken people from Bosnia and Herzegovina and among child survivors from the Former Dutch East Indies in the Netherlands. Both groups of people have been subjected to war, persecution, and displacement and had to redefine past, present and future."--Book cover
