Psychotherapeutic treatment of trauma in Northern Ireland

The aim of the present study was to explore the ongoing psychological impact of the "troubles" in Northern Ireland and the psychotherapeutic treatment of trauma, fourteen years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The thirty years of conflict punctuated by random acts of bloodshed and violence have impacted significantly on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of most in Northern Ireland and continue to this day, with regular, ongoing dissident and sectarian based incidents. Using five qualitative interviews the study evaluates the psychological impact of the "Troubles" on therapists/counsellors, those working with the security forces and clients who were affected.
