"The concept of mental health treatment in war-torn Middle Eastern nations is painfully understudied, and Tsacoyianis bridges the gap between history and psychiatry to contextualize the state of help on the ground. Not surprisingly, the news is profoundly troubling as we see nations like Lebanon and Syria struggle to recover structurally and economically, while drowning psychologically. Tsacoyianis personalizes the stakes and moves us to think about what comes after the physical war stops"-- Provided by publisher
