Currently, there are over 15 million legally designated refugees
all over the world and it is documented that 75 percent of those
refugees are women, yet most of the existent literature does not
focus on this group as women. Most of the literature focuses on
political, economic, and social issues with very little reference
to the mental health implications of the refugees'experiences as
women. Refugee Women and Their Mental Health begins to fill this
paucity of information on female refugees'experiences. A book of
immediate interest, Refugee Women and Their Mental Health focuses
on understanding the plight of women refugees around the world,
with an emphasis on mental health. The book adds successful and
innovative treatment and recovery models for these women
survivors.Some of the chapters are written by women who are
therapists/psychologists now and who have been refugees themselves.
This adds additional insight into the plight and resulting mental
health problems of refugee women. The chapters cover a vast range
of topics: torture and sexual abuse as refugees/victims of state
violence elderly women refugees immigration law and women refugees
first-person narratives the transformation of identity successful
creative treatment programsIt becomes clear that women refugees
from all over the world under different political events and
circumstances share common values and have similar mental health
needs. Refugee Women and Their Mental Health explores processes of
recovery from the traumas experienced by these women and offers a
variety of models for the application of feminist theory to the
plight of women refugees. Experienced therapists of women and those
in training to be therapists will want to read this book. The
topics of refugee women rarely comes up in training programs, so
the information in this book is vital for therapists, policy
makers, and other service providers and professors of psychology of
women, immigration and social work issues, and women and mental
health issues.
