Group EMDR therapy with forcibly displaced groups, refugees, and asylum seekers
Description
Displacement is one of the most urgent public health concerns in recent years. Worldwide, displacement has increased to the highest number in history with over one hundred million forcibly displaced people that includes 53.2 million internally displaced people and 27.1 million refugees with half of them being children. Displacement is a complex phenomenon. Physical, mental, social and economic consequences are inevitable and worsen the migration process for individuals, families and societies. Forced displacement happens suddenly without any warning or preparation. Thus, the urgency and the scale of the problem requires researchers, therapists and other professionals to act urgently. This chapter aims to provide comprehensive and detailed evaluation of Group EMDR Therapy, basic principles of using it with forcibly displaced groups and why it is a promising tool with refugees and asylum seekers.
