Refugee Mental Health in Resettlement CountriesWydanie 1

Originally published in 1986, Refugee Mental Health in Resettlement Countries reviews the research on refugee social and psychological problems, presents recent studies on adjustment problems among refugees, and outlines clinical approaches to refugee patients at the time. One-third of the book considers issues and concerns relevant to child and adolescent refugees, which reflects their increased numbers in recent refugee movements and their different needs. The book is divided into four main parts: the first part provides important background information about refugee mental health in general; the second has descriptions of recent projects; the third makes specific treatment and assessment suggestions; and the fourth provides a summary and suggestions for the future. Today it can be read in its historical context.
