What Now, Ukraine? Psychological Perspectives on the War and Crisis in the East
How can we talk to children about the war? How willing are we to accept war refugees, what does it depend on, and how do speeches by Ukrainian and Russian leaders affect the sense of identity and solidarity? What role can and should psychologists play in war situations, and what limits should we set for professional involvement?
