The burden left my hearth: psycho-social services among refugee women in Zenica and Tuzla, Bosnia-herzegovina during the war

This paper presents psychosocial services for displaced women living in the war zones. Two study groups were formed from two cities in B-H, Zenica and Tuzla. The services were designed to reduce distress and improve psychosocial functioning. A questionnaire-based evaluation suggested that highly distressed women derived greater benefit from group psychotherapy than from occupational activities.
