BACKGROUND: The physical and psychosocial effects of trauma in refugees are wide ranging and long lasting. They can affect symptom presentation, the patient-doctor relationship and management of refugee victims of trauma. OBJECTIVE: This article discusses how refugees survivors of trauma may present to the general practitioner and gives an approach to psychological assessment and management. DISCUSSION: A strong therapeutic relationship built by patient led, sensitive assessment over time is the foundation to care. A management framework based on trauma recovery stages and adapted for general practice, is presented. |
