Abstrakt: Within the context of expanding refugee populations world‐wide, a comprehensive model for understanding refugee children is presented with a focus on the refugee experience of African children. The model addresses the psychological consequences of displacement utilizing the concepts of trauma and stress, social and emotional supports, loss and bereavement and coping and adaptation. This article stresses the urgent need for involvement of the social work profession in relieving the suffering of the displaced children of Africa. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
