In the field of refugee studies, scholars have developed the concept of “psychological wellness” so as to evaluate the mental health of those affected by the traumatic experience of displacement, as well as to enable institutions to effectively mediate on their behalf. this volume brings together notes researchers to discuss the emotional and social impact of forced migration, citing examples of refugee from Afghanistan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Palestine, cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, Eastern Europe, Bosnia, and Chile. The authors address the technical issues involved in researching these groups and provide guidelines for researchers who must also consider their own responses to these accounts of torture, humiliation, killing, and dispossession.
