Mechanisms of psychological distress following war in the former Yugoslavia: the role of interpersonal sensitivity.

While high prevalence rates of psychological symptoms have been documented in civilian survivors of war, little is known about the mechanisms by which trauma exposure might lead to poor psychological outcomes in these populations. One potential mechanism that may underpin the association between war...
