Afgezien van de beginjaren heeft het anarchisme als politieke stroming in Nederland nooit een baanbrekende rol gespreeld. De anarchistische beweging kende een ongeorganiseerd karakter waardoor haar maatschappelijke invloed beperkt bleef. Toch leverde het hechte, al voor de oorlog ontstande netwerk van geestverwanten en belangrijke bijdrage aan het verzet. Deze episode wordt beschreven in Nederlandse anarchisten tijdens de Duitse bezetting, het recent verschenen themanummer van tijdschrijf De AS. 

In deze serie belicht NC Magazine onbekende plaatsen die een rol hebben gespeeld in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Deze keer het concentratiekamp Falstad in Noorwegen. 

Wat betekent het oorlogsverleden van de eerste generatie voor hun kinderen en kleinkinderen? Wat betekenen herdenken en vieren? NC Magazine publiceert elk nummer een gesprek tussen twee mensen van verschillende generaties. Dit keer Jan Terlouw en Jaime de Bourbon de Parme.

Background: Medicinal cannabinoids, including medicinal cannabis and pharmaceutical cannabinoids and their synthetic derivatives, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), have been suggested to have a therapeutic role in certain mental disorders. We analysed the available evidence to ascertain the effectiveness and safety of all types of medicinal cannabinoids in treating symptoms of various mental disorders. 

Background: Besides the high exposure to traumatic events, many refugees to Europe experienced tremendous interpersonal losses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the rate and potential risk factors of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) in recently fled asylum seekers who lived in collective accommodations in Germany.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is arguably the most common psychiatric disorder to arise after exposure to a traumatic event. Since its formal introduction in the DSM-III in 1980, knowledge has grown significantly regarding its causes, maintaining mechanisms and treatments. Despite this increased understanding, however, the actual definition of the disorder remains controversial.

This article addresses the tension in psychoanalytic thinking regarding adult-onset trauma and its potential effects on children who were not directly exposed to the same parental trauma. Psychoanalytic theory emphasizes early attachment trauma as predictive of the response to trauma later in life. This emphasis on early trauma delayed recognition of adult-onset trauma-related disorders and the development of adequate trauma-focused treatments.

Objectives

Current regional conflicts are creating a surge in forced migration, and heightened visa restrictions are increasingly being applied. The current study aimed to examine the relationship between visa insecurity and psychological outcomes within a large clinical sample of refugees and people seeking asylum in Australia.

Methods

Highlights

• Former female child soldiers in DR Congo have high levels of PTSD and aggression.

• Brief psychotherapeutic interventions reduce trauma related mental health problems.

• Interventions that reduce PTSD and aggression concurrently reduce ongoing conflict.

Objective

Objective: This study aimed to explore how exposure to danger-based and non-dangerbased stressors may influence personal changes in veterans (N = 4053) after deployment to Afghanistan.
