SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
When researching Bosnian Muslims' experiences and responses to the 1992 Bosnia-Hercegovina genocide, Westernized approaches to disease, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and health, Global Assessment of Functioning, have been utilized, despite the fact Bosnia-Hercegovina is not a Western society. Past research has focused on the pathological responses to experiences of genocide, ignoring Bosnian Muslim adaptation present with pathological responses. This suggests that Westernized measures used may not accurately depict Bosnian Muslims' experiences of trauma and adaptation following the genocide. The present study will utilize a collective case study approach to collecting and analyzing Bosnian Muslim survivors' experiences during genocide to explore their unique experiences and factors contributing to their post-genocidal adaptation.
