Long-term psychological effects of war trauma and migration: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of Balkan war survivors
The findings suggest that war trauma and migration are not discrete events but temporally extended, relational processes, unfolding across the lifespan. This perspective advances psychological understanding of trauma trajectories, identity reconstruction, and intergenerational adaptation.
