Cornelis J. Laban,Hajo B. P. E. Gernaat,Ivan H. Komproe,Ingeborg van der Tweel,Joop T. V. M. de Jong +4 more
TL;DR: Mental health workers should recognize the impact of postmigration living problems and consider focusing their treatment on coping with these problems instead of traumas from the past, and appeal to governments to shorten the asylum procedures, allow asylum seekers to work, and give preference to family reunion.

Brandon A. Kohrt,Mark J. D. Jordans,Wietse A. Tol,Rebecca A. Speckman,Sujen Man Maharjan,Carol M. Worthman,Ivan H. Komproe +6 more

Journal ArticleDOI
