Resilience, Suffering and Creativity

The Work of the Refugee Therapy Centre

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The trauma of refugee status is particularly corrosive. It does the usual harm of devastating our own self-image and sense of permanence in the world, but it does more. It is a dislocation from our familiar domestic geography and culture, and that must wrench from our grasp all the external markers by which we know ourselves and our worth.
