Their frightened, angry faces are grim reminders of the reach of
war. They are millions of children, orphaned, displaced, forced to
flee or to fight. And just as they have myriad possibilities for
trauma, their lives also hold great potential for recovery.
The Handbook of Resilience in Children of War explores these
critical phenomena at the theoretical, research, and treatment
levels, beginning with the psychosocial effects of exposure to war.
Narratives of young people's lives in war zones as diverse as
Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Columbia, and Sudan reveal the complexities
of their experiences and the meanings they attach to them,
providing valuable keys to their rehabilitation. Other chapters
identify strengths and limitations of current interventions, and of
constructs of resilience as applied to youth affected by war.
Throughout this cutting-edge volume, the emphasis is on improving
the field through more relevant research and accurate,
evidence-based interventions, in such areas as:
An ecological resilience approach to promoting mental health in
children of war.Child soldiers and the myth of the ticking time
bomb.The Child Friendly Spaces postwar intervention program.The
role of education for war-zone immigrant and refugee
students.Political violence, identity, and adjustment in
children.
The Handbook of Resilience in Children of War is essential
reading for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate
students in diverse fields including clinical child, school, and
developmental psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social
work; counseling; education; and allied medical and public health
disciplines.
