A World Turned Upside Down looks at children's experiences during war from a psychological and social ecological perspective, offering thoughtful observations and dispelling myths about the realities of growing up in conflict situations. In addition, each contributor points to ways to foster well-being and nurture the kinds of social connections that can liberate children from the pathologies of war.
