The contributors have extensive experience working with children in
war zones across the world. The descriptions and dialogue are
capable of drawing psychologists, policy makers, anthropologists,
and peacemakers together. When wars are fought in the midst of
civilian activity, as they so often are in poorer countries, the
effects on children are devastating. ""A World Turned Upside Down""
looks at the experiences of children in war from a psychological
perspective, specifically from a social ecologist's view, offering
thoughtful observations and dispelling myths about what results
from growing up in conflict situations. In contrast to
individualized approaches, the volume offers a deeper
conceptualization that shows the impacts of war as socially
mediated. In this view, it is expected that two children exposed to
the same traumatic experience (e.g., attack) may have different
reactions and needs for psychosocial support. Further, psychosocial
assistance to war-affected children often occurs not through the
provision of therapy by outsiders but via support from insiders.
Each contributor has worked extensively with children in war zones
in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. They step back from
viewing these children as victims of trauma, soldiers, or refugees,
and reveal a holistic understanding of their experiences within
their families and communities. Knowing these social connections,
they argue, helps pinpoint ways of fostering well-being and even
reducing further violence.
