 In Context is a venue for scholarly contributions from experts on scientific, social, political, and cultural issues pertinent to children's mental health. In Context presents topics that do not immediately fall under the purview of scientific research or clinical practice but that nevertheless affect the lives and mental health of children. Its goal is to educate clinicians and researchers, to encourage discussion, and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.Dr. Wessells is Professor of Clinical Population and Family Health in the Columbia University Program on Forced Migration and Health and has worked in many war zones for the past two decades developing and evaluating programs that support war-affected children, particularly former child soldiers. He is the author of Child Soldiers: From Violence to Protection.
