TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - A preventive pilot project addressing multiethnic tensions in the wake of the Iraq war JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Rousseau, C. A1 - Machouf, Anousheh SP - 466 EP - 474 VL - 75 IS - 4 N2 - This article describes a school-based preventive pilot project for recent immigrant children, designed to decrease anxiety and intergroup tensions associated with the Iraq war. Results suggest that clinicians should address the multiplicity of meanings associated with international events when planning a prevention program in multiethnic schools to help children to cope with the increasingly common gap between the ways traumatic events covered by the media are understood at home and at school.
