This book, based upon a series of psychological research studies,
examines Sierra Leone as a case study of a constructivist and
narrative perspective on psychological responses to warfare,
telling the stories of a range of survivors of the civil war. The
authors explore previous research on psychological responses to
warfare while providing background information on the Sierra Leone
civil war and its context. Chapters consider particular groups of
survivors, including former child soldiers, as well as amputee
footballers, mental health service users and providers, and
refugees. Implications of the themes emerging from this research
are considered with respect to how new understandings can inform
current models of trauma and work with its survivors. Amongst the
issues concerned will be post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic
growth; resilience; mental health service provision; perpetration
of atrocities; and forgiveness. The book also provides a critical
consideration of the appropriateness of the use of Western concepts
and methods in an African context. Drawing upon psychological
theory and rich narrative research, Trauma, Survival and Resilience
in War Zones will appeal to researchers and academics in the field
of clinical psychology, as well as those studying post-war conflict
zones.
