Today's political climate has made refugee mental health a growing public health issue. Synthesizing insights from psychiatry, social psychology, and anthropology, this book sets out a framework for therapy that is as culturally informed as it is productive. An international panel of 23 therapists offers contextual knowledge on PTSD, coping skills, and other trauma sequelae as they affect survivors of traumatic events. Case studies from Egypt to Chechnya demonstrate various therapeutic approaches. Authors explore the balance of inter- and intrapersonal factors in reactions to trauma and dispel misconceptions that hinder progress in treatment and provide profound examples of mutual trust and empathy, even how the wounded may heal the therapist.
