Memory, war, and trauma
\"Many millions of people are affected by the trauma of war. Psychologists have a good understanding of how experiences of war impact on memory but the significance of external environmental influences is often disregarded. Memory, War and Trauma focuses on our understanding of the psychosocial impact of war in its broadest sense. Nigel C. Hunt argues that, in order to understand war trauma, it is critical to develop an understanding not only of the individual perspective but also of how societal and cultural factors impact on the outcome of an individual's experience. This is a compelling book which helps demonstrate why some people suffer from post-traumatic stress when other people don't, and how narrative understanding is important to the healing process. Its multi-disciplinary perspective will enable a deeper understanding of both individual traumatic stress and the structures of memory\"--Provided by publisher.

Post-war Economy of Ukraine: Innovation and Investment Development Project
The article attempts to scientifically search for an answer to the question about the possibilities and prospects of innovative and investment development of the post-war economy of Ukraine, taking into account specific country conditions and trends in the global economy as a whole. The experience of the post-war reconstruction of Germany and Japan, the Marshall Plan, and much later projects for the reconstruction of Iraq and Croatia after regional military conflicts are taken as the basis for the analysis. The problems studied in the article are of particular importance in the absence of conceptual works, both fundamental and reasonably practical, devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the post-war development of Ukraine and ways to revive its economy, which would take into account the changed conditions within the country itself and in the world as a whole.

Making The Best Years of Our Lives
Released in 1946, The Best Years of Our Lives became an
immediate success. Life magazine called it \"the first big,
good movie of the post-war era\" to tackle the \"veterans problem.\"
Today we call that problem PTSD, but in the initial aftermath of
World War II, the modern language of war trauma did not exist. The
film earned the producer Samuel Goldwyn his only Best Picture
Academy Award. It offered the injured director, William Wyler, a
triumphant postwar return to Hollywood. And for Harold Russell, a
double amputee who costarred with Fredric March and Dana Andrews,
the film provided a surprising second act.
Award-winning author Alison Macor illuminates the film's journey
from script to screen and describes how this authentic motion
picture moved audiences worldwide. General Omar Bradley believed
The Best Years of Our Lives would help \"the American
people to build an even better democracy\" following the war, and
the movie inspired broad reflection on reintegrating the walking
wounded. But the film's nuanced critique of American ideals also
made it a target, and the picture and its creators were swept up in
the anti-Communist witch hunts of the late 1940s. In this
authoritative history, Macor chronicles the making and meaning of a
film that changed America.

A mental healthcare model for mass trauma survivors : control-focused behavioral treatment of earthquake, war, and torture trauma
\"Mass trauma events, such as natural disasters, war and torture, affect millions of people every year. Currently, there is no mental health care model with the potential to address the psychological needs of survivors in a cost-effective way. This book presents such a model, along with guidance on its implementation, making it invaluable for both policy-makers and mental health professionals. Building on more than twenty years of extensive research with mass trauma survivors, the authors present a model of traumatic stress to aid understanding of mass trauma and how its psychological impact can be overcome with control-focused behavioral treatment. This text offers a critical review of various controversial issues in the field of psychological trauma in light of recent research findings. Including two structured manuals on earthquake trauma, covering treatment delivery and self-help, the book will be of use to survivors themselves as well as care providers\"--Provided by publisher.

The third mission of the university in the context of war and post-war recovery
In the conditions of the war of russia against Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian universities are playing roles that were not characteristic of them in peacetime. To the greatest extent, this concerns the university’s third mission, serving society and responding to its urgent needs. The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize new meaningful directions for implementing the third mission of the university in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. The study uses quantitative and qualitative bibliometric analysis combining various methods, in particular, quantitative and dynamic analysis of publications and citations, keyword analysis, cluster analysis and content analysis of publications.The study’s results proved the lack of conceptual studies devoted to the role of universities in the war and post-war reconstruction. The main clusters of implementing the third mission of universities and the existing and potential areas of activity of Ukraine’s universities during the war and post-war reconstruction that belong to them were determined. In conclusion, it is substantiated that a new dimension of the mission of universities is being formed, which is at the stage of its formation and needs time for the necessary transformations. Depending on the consequences of the war in Ukraine, it can be a separate cluster of the third mission of universities, and the selection of a new fourth mission of universities, dedicated to peacebuilding and the role of the university during the war and post-war recovery.

Walking wounded : uncut stories from Iraq
A gripping graphic novel illustrates the challenges of Iraq War veterans as well as their inspiring triumphs. After the shock of 9/11, for hundreds of thousands of young Americans there was Ar Ramadi, Baghdad, Abu Ghraib--the war in Iraq. Then came the trauma. From the torment of these vets to their reflections, this book demonstrates the seemingly impossible return of those who aspire to get back to a normal life. The effort is huge: some can't make it and others score their own victory by finally turning the corner. Walking Wounded is a parable for our country's war sickness.
