Exclusively psychological or psychiatric approaches to working with refugees may not provide a satisfactory point of access to displacement-related distress among Somali refugees. Highly individualizing models of suffering, focusing on psychological distress, are of only limited salience to populations of Somali refugees and returnees in the Horn of Africa - politics, poverty, and perceived collective injustice must be addressed in conjunction with any exploration of emotional distress and personal suffering.</p>}, number={5}, journal={Refuge: Canada’s Journal on Refugees}, author={Zarowsky, Christina}, year={1997}, month={Nov.}, pages={11–17} }
