In an interview granted years before September 11, 2001, Osama
bin Laden has stated that he considers both soldiers and civilians
of the enemy legitimate targets. That position is not unique, and
the wars of the past century have proven with increasing numbers of
civilian casualties. This book addresses the impact of war and
extreme stress on civilian populations, as well as psychology's
response to these phenomena. Contributors examined and developed
interventions in locations including Africa, the Balkans,
Afghanistan, Siberia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Subjects
include: women under the Taliban, AIDS patients faced with
governmental denial, survivors of the Rwanda massacres, post-Pol
Pot Cambodia, Nazi Holocaust victims, Kuwaitis after the Iraqi
invasion, Argentine mothers of disappeared youth, and more.
The authors examine such rehabilitation efforts as art therapy
and role-playing in the former Yugoslavia, community mobilization
in Angola, body-work for torture victims who have found their way
to London, and counseling for former child prostitutes now in
Vietnamese schools. Preventative measures include classes in
ethnopolitical conflict resolution, reconciliation and
peace-building activities, and the revival of indigenous practices
after decades of repression.
