achtergrond In gezinnen waar kindermishandeling plaatsvindt, komen veel onbehandelde psychiatrische problemen voor. Het is van belang in deze doelgroep manieren te vinden om adequate psychiatrische diagnostiek en interventies toe te passen.
doel Beschrijven van de methodiek en de eerste resultaten van multisysteemtherapie voor kindermishandeling en/of verwaarlozing (mst-can).

Waar liggen de grenzen?
Deze toolkit reikt methodes, interventies, voorbeelden en materialen aan voor onderwijsprofessionals in primair en voortgezet onderwijs die aan de slag willen met het thema seksualiteit en/of te maken hebben met ongewenst seksueel gedrag van leerlingen.

Wanneer de eerste kinderen en jongeren naar school komen,
is de Oekraïne vliegramp inmiddels 4,5 tot 6,5 week geleden.
Voor sommige kinderen zijn de gevolgen van de vliegramp
nog dagelijks in hun leven aanwezig, voor andere is de
omvang en ernst alweer wat weggezakt. Sommige kinderen
hebben stressreacties vertoond die alweer zijn uitgedoofd,
andere denken er nog nauwelijks aan. En wellicht is er een
(zeer) kleine groep die er nog dagelijks mee bezig is en die
toe is aan meer intensieve begeleiding.

Abstract
Objective. This article reviews available qualitative studies that report young refugees’ ways of dealing with adversity to address their sources of resilience.
Design. We searched five electronic databases. Twenty-six empirical studies were included in the review. A meta-ethnography approach was used to synthesize these qualitative studies.

This master thesis analyses the effects of delegating counter-radicalisation policies at the municipal level in the Netherlands by means of a Critical Security Studies (CSS) approach. This research is of political-societal relevance since it provides more insight in the effects of national policy on the performance of municipalities.

While the conflict in Syria rages on, one psychiatrist and several psychologists, all of them Syrian refugees, have founded ‘Syria Bright Future’, a volunteer organisation that provides psychosocial and mental health services to Syrian refugees in Jordan. This field report describes how the organisation assists families in settling after their harsh journey, in adapting to new living conditions and circumstances, coping with difficulties they encounter and strengthening their resilience.

Lay counsellors provide valuable psychosocial support in many different circumstances, such as manning telephone helplines for cancer patients, assisting people after crisis events or giving focused support to refugees or other vulnerable groups. This paper describes the process that a consortium of four humanitarian organisations followed to develop a training guide for lay counsellors as it was found that no common training curriculum existed.

This paper aims to explore trends in developments in content and authors’ locations and perspectives in ‘Intervention, the International Journal of Mental Health, Psychosocial Work and Counselling in Areas of Armed Conflict’, from 2003 to 2012. Over this 10 year period, Intervention has published 139 peer reviewed articles, 73 field reports, 36 book reviews and 33 debate papers. The articles cover academic expertise, practical experience and debates on mental health and psychosocial interventions in the aftermath of both natural, and manmade, disasters.

Recent reviews of therapeutic photography have identified the technique's unique ability to transcend culture and language, both essential characteristics of international trauma therapy. This article describes a process, through which youth identified changes in self-perception after a photojournalism workshop, using an interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach and conducted in a Shan migrant community centre in northern Thailand.

The occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) exemplifies a situation of continuous, protracted violence and conflict. This paper explores the application of the concept of posttraumatic stress disorder to this situation of ongoing violence. It argues that using an individualised perspective ‘through a trauma lens’, may not be the most appropriate approach to Palestinian distress, but that a model based on the concept of ‘social suffering’ may be a more holistic fit, exploring how individual and collective human suffering is associated with life conditions shaped by powerful social forces.
