Opis

Much research has been conducted on PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and acculturative stress; this study addresses the two by redefining Heimat. Heimat is complex: this study proposes that it can be understood by the multi-dimensional connections formed by individuals and communities-a system of attachments.
