This book, based upon a series of psychological research studies, examines Sierra Leone as a case study of a constructivist and narrative perspective on psychological responses to warfare, telling the stories of a range of survivors of the civil war. The authors explore previous research on psychological responses to warfare before providing background information on the Sierra Leone civil war and its context. The book also provides a critical consideration of the appropriateness of the use of Western concepts and methods in an African context.
