- Title
SURVIVORS, TRAUMA AND MENTAL ILLNESS: A CHALLENGE FOR AUSTRALIAN JEWISH WELFARE.
- Authors
Green, Deborah
- Abstract
This article begins by examining the state of Sydney's mental hospitals, as they were then known, in order to highlight the conditions and treatments that prevailed in the 1950s and to identify some of the particular disadvantages for migrants and refugees in such institutions. The contributions of key leaders, doctors and social workers are then explored as a means to address the question of who helped this group of survivors. Finally, the various case studies found in the AJWS archives are discussed. In some cases, these are fragments of the story.
