Opfer extremistischer Gewalt – Psychologische Folgen und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten.

Abstract

Victims of Violent Extremism - Psychological Consequences and Treatment Options. Violent extremism is directed against societies and institutions and aims to destabilise such structures and trigger uncertainty. The expressive effect of these acts therefore also arises from the public's evaluation of them. The specific nature of the violent act also has implications for those children and adolescents directly and indirectly affected by violent extremism. Within the framework of a narrative review, the specific aspects resulting from this for the treatment of trauma related disorders in children, adolescents and their relatives are presented.
