Op 11 juli 2020 is het precies 25 jaar geleden dat de genocide in Srebrenica zich voltrok. Meer dan 8.000 Bosnische Moslimmannen en jongens werden vermoord, het Nederlandse VN-bataljon Dutchbat hoorde hen te beschermen. Het is de grootste genocide in Europa sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog. 

Srebrenica is Nederlandse geschiedenis is een campagne die aandacht vraagt voor de Srebrenica genocide, de rol van Nederland en de 25-jarige herdenking hiervan in Nederland.

Patiënten met ernstige PTSS kampen vaak met emotieregulatie-problemen. Therapeuten kunnen daarom terughoudend zijn direct de trauma’s te behandelen uit angst dat patiënten overspoeld worden door emoties. Ze kiezen ervoor om eerst de emotieregulatie te verbeteren, in de veronderstelling dat patiënten daarna beter van de traumagerichte therapie kunnen profiteren.

Moral injury has developed in earnest since 2009 within psychology and military studies, especially through work with veterans of the U.S. military’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. A major part of this work is the attempt to identify means of healing, recovery, and repair for those morally injured by their experiences in combat (or similar situations).

This book is a testament to the growing number of researchers and clinicians who are studying and developing interventions targeting the prevention and treatment of moral injury. It informs and guides mental health clinicians, chaplains, and other helping professionals about relative conceptual issues in moral injury and promising therapeutic approaches to possibly incorporate in their work with morally injured patients who seek their care.

Background
A large mental health treatment gap exists among conflict-affected populations, and Syrian refugees specifically. Promising brief psychological interventions for conflict-affected populations exist such as the World Health Organization’s Problem Management Plus (PM+) and the Early Adolescent Skills for Emotions (EASE) intervention, however, there is limited practical guidance for countries of how these interventions can be taken to scale. The aim of this study was to unpack pathways for scaling up PM+ and EASE for Syrian refugees.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in enormous losses in terms of human lives and economy in United States. The outbreak has been continuing to heavily impact the mental health of people. Developing key strategies to prevent mental illnesses is extremely important for the well-being of people. A survey conducted during the last week of March 2020 showed that 72% of Americans felt that their lives were impacted by the outbreak, which was a 32% increase from the survey conducted only 2 weeks earlier.
