The influence of war and terrorism on posttraumatic distress among Israeli children
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The Middle East has been in conflict for many decades and wars have become the ‘normative reality’ of children residing in the area. Questions have been raised about children's vulnerability to the stresses that come with living in a war area. Are children more resilient because they are more flexible in their ways of coping? Or are children more vulnerable because their psychological development is influenced by the environment?
