Descrição
Violence is omnipresent in societies, communities, institutions, families, and relationships. Its impact on mental health is both, short, and long-lasting. This talk focusses on the impact of extreme violence on mental health, negative emotions and resilience. Following an overview on violence characteristics and scope and extent, the talk will provide insights into the mental health consequences resulting from extreme violence. I will review research findings and present own research showing that extreme violence is associated with mental health and that factors in the aftermath of the event play an additional role for course and severity of symptoms over time.
