“…A participant was considered a Holocaust survivor if she was in a country occupied by the Nazis during some or all of the years between 1939 to 1945, following Carmil and Breznitz (1991). While mass extermination did not begin until 1942 (Shanan, 1989), death was still omnipresent for Jews in the Nazi empire during the several preceding years.…”

“…Experiences of war violence are highly correlated with greater levels of social capital, community engagement, and peaceful political engagement. Carmil and Breznitz (1991) found that exposure to war led to greater political activism among groups such as Jewish Holocaust survivors and Palestinian victims of bombardment (Punamäki, Qouta, and El Sarraj 1997). Regarding El Salvador, Wood (2003) argued that government violence prompted its victims to support and even join opposition forces out of moral outrage.…”

Violent conflict, a pervasive feature of the recent global landscape, has lasting impacts on human capital, and these impacts are seldom gender neutral. Death and destruction alter the structure and dynamics of households, including their demographic profiles and traditional gender roles. To date, attention to the gender impacts of conflict has focused almost exclusively on sexual and genderbased violence. We show that a far wider set of gender issues must be considered to better document the human consequences of war and to design effective postconflict policies. The emerging empirical evidence is organized using a framework that identifies both the differential impacts of violent conflict on males and females (first-round impacts) and the role of gender inequality in framing adaptive responses to conflict (second-round impacts). War's mortality burden is disproportionately borne by males, whereas women and children constitute a majority of refugees and the displaced. Indirect war impacts on health are more equally distributed between the genders. Conflicts create households headed by widows who can be especially vulnerable to intergenerational poverty. Second-round impacts can provide opportunities for women in work and politics triggered by the absence of men. Households adapt to conflict with changes in marriage and fertility, migration, investments in children's health and schooling, and the distribution of labor between the genders. The impacts of conflict are heterogeneous and can either increase or decrease preexisting gender inequalities. Describing these gender differential effects is a first step toward developing evidence-based conflict prevention and postconflict policy.

“…Results of studies are equivocal regarding trauma's negative or positive effects on an individual's religious beliefs and behaviors [12][13][14][15][16]. Harris et al developed an intervention called Building Spiritual Strength (BSS) to assist those who experienced military trauma in reducing PTSD symptoms by exploring spirituality as a source of support [17].…”

Abstract-This study describes ways in which a MantramRepetition Program (MRP) was used for managing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 65 outpatient Veterans with PTSD. The MRP consisted of six weekly group sessions (90 min/wk) on how to (1) choose and use a mantram, (2) slow down thoughts and behaviors, and (3) develop onepointed attention for emotional self-regulation. Critical incident research technique interviews were conducted at 3 mo postintervention as part of a larger randomized clinical trial. The setting was an academic-affiliated Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in southern California. Categorization and comparison of the types and frequency of incidents (i.e., triggering events) were collected. Participants reported a total of 268 triggering events. Content analysis of the outcomes resulted in 12 discreet categories, including relaxing and calming down, letting go of negative feelings, thinking clearly and rationally, diverting attention away from triggering events, focusing attention, refining mantram skills, dealing with sleep disturbances, coming back from flashbacks, slowing down, communicating thoughts and feelings more effectively, feeling in touch spiritually, and letting go of physical pain. The study shows that the MRP was helpful in managing a wide range of emotional reactions in Veterans with PTSD.
