Call for papers: Special issue of 'Intervention' on psychosocial work and
peacebuilding
Although there is increasing attention for the complex relationships between
individual trauma and the larger social contexts in which they occur, we
still have only a fragmented understanding about the ways in which
psychosocial interventions and practices in conflict and post-conflict
situations influence long-term collective social processes of peacebuilding,
reconciliation and other forms of social transformation. Identifying and
describing the key determinants of psychosocial projects that could
contribute to wider social transformation would represent a major
contribution to the field of Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in
post-conflict settings. In order to address the shortage of systematic
attention for the links between peacebuilding and MHPSS work 'Intervention,
the International Journal of Mental Health, Psychosocial Work and Counselling
in Areas of Armed Conflict' will prepare a special issue on this topic.
The issue will contain papers produced by researchers involved in the
multi-site research project: 'Trauma, Development and Peacebuilding: Towards
an Integrated Psycho-Social Approach' led by Brandon Hamber and Elizabeth
Gallagher of the International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE) at the
University of Ulster, UK. This research project, that concluded in 2012,
resulted in a series of case studies analysing different psychosocial
initiatives in areas that have been deeply affected by violent conflict, such
as Guatemala, the occupied Palestinian territories, Kashmir, Mozambique,
Northern Ireland, South Africa and Sri Lanka.
We would also like to add case studies from other areas. Therefore we invite
articles and field reports on this topic. We are particularly interested in
papers that link field-experiences with psychosocial programming and
practices to theories of social transformation, peacebuilding and
reconciliation. Intervention contains three types of article:
1. Peer-reviewed articles (around 5000 words): externally reviewed by three
independent experts. Papers in this section usually follow the structure of
scholarly papers and use the headings: Introduction, Methods, Results,
Discussion/Conclusion).
2. Field reports (around 2500-4000 words): practice-oriented papers
describing and analysing programmes or approaches in mental health and
psychosocial support. The papers are reviewed by (guest) editors.
3. Personal reflections: (around 800-1600 words): short pieces exploring the
relation between mental health and psychosocial work in post-conflict
settings and personal life experiences of the authors.
