The contributors are all professionals who are involved in helping adults and children rebuild their lives after witnessing the destruction of their families and communities. Based on their own experience of working internationally, this book presents an analysis of present, misconceived attempts to give help, but also an agenda for future, more appropriate ways of responding to those affected by wars and conflicts.
