Mental health problems among asylum seekers and refugees are becoming a public issue, but awareness of this problem among the mental health community is relatively low. Although advances have been made in the provision of innovative mental health services for asylum seekers and refuges with PTSD, they are not systemized, and not widely known to professionals in the field. A publication offering practical guidelines for the treatment of torture victims and political refugees does not exist. Broken Spirits aims to bring together the works of the most respected mental health professionals - from the U.S. and abroad - and make available the most current knowledge on complex PTSD, forced migration and cultural sensitivity in diagnosis and treatment.

Broken Spirits Lost Souls provides a rare, valuable look at a silent yet potentially deadly problem plaguing families today, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Children born into crisis or ambivalence are vulnerable to attachment disturbances because the roots of this horrendous disorder occur when basic life enhancing needs of newborns and infants go unnoticed or unmet. Consequently, children who are victims of early neglect or trauma are at grave risk. The candid stories in Broken Spirits Lost Souls, told by parents of disturbed youngsters, paint a clear picture of their chilling, dangerous behavior. Attachment disorder may be demonstrated by out-of-control children as young as three years old. By their teens, these kids predictably defy authority and challenge every accepted familial and societal norm. At their best, individuals with RAD represent the embryonic stages of an antisocial personality, at their worst they are full-blown psychopaths consumed by the search for another victim. RAD is not a rare phenomenon and is primarily preventable through early identification and by employing simple, sound parenting skills.

A man on the run from his past… After serving three tours in Afghanistan, ex-army captain Lincoln Barrington is a broken man. After witnessing too many times the atrocities of war, the needless death of innocent people and the fact two decades of fighting has amounted to nothing with the enemy now back in charge, Lincoln is battle worn, bitter and angry at the world. Plagued by soul-destroying nightmares and painful flashbacks, every day is a struggle. He can’t see his way out of the blackness that is slowly consuming him… Escaping to a remote farmhouse in the country is his only hope. There he yearns to give his mind and body the chance to rest, rejuvenate and heal from the wounds inflicted by Afghanistan. Doctor Zoe Parker is a child psychologist. Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of needy children finding their way to her door, she takes a break from her private practice in Sydney in search of the peace and tranquillity offered by a stay in the country. When her car breaks down a mile from where Lincoln is holed up, he grudgingly offers her a bed for the night. Zoe is immediately attracted to the mesmerizing stranger, but she’s also concerned for Lincoln’s mental well-being. It is obvious the man is suffering, but every attempt she makes to reach out and connect with him is rudely rebuffed. Determined not to give up, Zoe uses all the tools at her disposal to help him through the darkest time of his life. What follows is a remarkable love story of two people. One battered and bruised by war and the other from the challenges of modern society. Can love and patience and understanding make two broken people become whole…?
