Intervention Journal: global exchange of psychosocial knowledge and experience

Intervention: the International Journal of Mental Health, Psychosocial Work and Counselling in Areas
of Armed Conflict (Intervention Journal) has been published since 2003, and is owned by the War Trauma Foundation.  

Intervention Journal collects and disseminates a large diversity of information and experience in the field of psychological and psychosocial aid. Intervention Journal publishes articles that are relevant for professionals and volunteers working in areas of armed conflict, and other humanitarian emergencies, and for those working with refugees throughout the world.

Unique

Intervention Journal disseminates academic insights and international standards in psychosocial work, as well as the latest information gained from the practical experiences of fieldworkers, in the hope that both worlds will inspire and support each other. In Intervention Journal you will find: (peer reviewed) academic articles, book reviews, debates and field reports that describe concrete psychosocial projects and contain lessons that can be used by others. The journal is published in English, with summaries of the articles in Arabic, French, Russian, Pashto, Sinhala, Spanish and Tamil.

Next to Intervention Journal, WTF also publishes Educational Materials under the name ‘Intervention Manuals’. For more information, please see the section Intervention Manuals in the main menu of the website.
