The authors of medico's new report "Inside of Globalisation – Psychosocial Work in Contexts of Violence" analyze the concepts and the reality of psychosocial work in countries torn by war and violence. In their contributions, based on research in several countries of the South, they have outlined the different dimensions of perpetrator/victim realities in the era of globalisation. The authors have developed concepts for the deprivatization of suffering, healing processes and offer perspectives for sustainable changes within international networks.
The Medico-Report is published in german language. In the following you can find some english acticles for download as PDF-file.
