Description
Based on 'Tensions in the psychosocial discourse: implications for the planning of interventions with war-affected populations'. Fundamental conceptual tensions underlie current debates regarding the implementation of psychosocial interventions with war-affected populations. Three particular tensions structuring current discourse concern the generalisability versus uniqueness of relevant knowledge, the valuing of technical versus indigenous understandings, and the planning of targeted versus community-based intervention. The implications of working out these tensions in the implementation of programmes are explored, leading to the proposal of a model of phased response to psychosocial needs.<p>This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p>
