Peterson, Susan C.; And Others
The second volume of this annotated bibliography contains primarily materials in published scientific literature on refugee mental health. References have been grouped into five major sections. Section 1, Understanding Refugees in Context, provides important background material in five categories: cultural and related information about different refugee or ethnic groups; research on refugee experience and behavior; policy issues; physical health and medical care of refugees; and assimilation, acculturation, and adaptation. Section 2, Specific Mental Health Issues and Refugees, lists resources in the following categories: typical or common mental health problems, disorders, or issues for refugees; assessment and diagnosis; needs assessment; treatment; prevention, promotion, and outreach; mental health service delivery; and training issues and professional development. Section 3, Concerns of Selected Subgroups of Refugees, provides references on the specific issues and needs of children and adolescents, women, and the elderly, along with references describing kinship issues facing refugee families in their country of resettlement. It also contains a category of references on refugees who have been victimized by torture, terror, concentration camps, and/or rape. Section 4, Other Bibliographies on Refugees and Related Topics, includes both published and unpublished bibliographies. Section 5, Language, consists of references in the following areas: issues in education and bilingual education; interpretation; and language and language concerns. Three indices are included, organized by refugee/ethic group, author, and subject. (TE)
