Education-to-Work Transition Among the Youth in Post-Conflict Settings
Education-to-work transition among war-affected youth in post-conflict settings is fraught with challenges, not least compounded by the little attention placed on individual agency and mental health. This review examines the debate on war-affected youth skilling programmes in post-conflict settings, which neglect the roles of individual agency and mental health in the education-to-work transition. Building on Albert Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory…
Cognitive appraisal as a mediator of the relations between war experiences and PTSD in the formerly abducted youth in Northern Uganda
Each trauma appraisal subscale partially mediated the association between war experiences and PTSD symptoms. The level of mediation by the various subscales of trauma appraisal was moderately large, suggesting that interventions targeted at changing maladaptive trauma cognitions may reduce the influence of war experiences on PTSD symptoms.

Historical and contemporary psychotherapy practices in Uganda
The landscape of mental health care and psychosocial care in Uganda is characterized by psychological science-informed professionals and traditional/spiritual healers. • The former are considered competent from a scientific point of view while the latter work in the background and largely not recognized by the scientific community. • A history of colonial psychiatry and the hegemonic biomedical model have made it difficult to recognize the contri…
On Pan-Africanism, Feminism, and Psychotherapy
Three African-descended psychologists discuss the case of a psychotherapy dyad in which the first author, a U.S. national, and a Caribbean student who had immigrated to the U.S. served respectively as therapist and client. We discuss the relevance of Helms’ racial identity development theory to the cultivation of psychological health among African-descended women, proposing that this form of health is intimately tied to our association with other…
A study of Ugandan children’s perspectives on peace, conflict, and peace-building
Bulhan (2015) urged psychologists to advance their research and practice by attending to metacolonialism, a structural phenomenon built on a history of violence and oppression that assaults all manner of individual, community, and societal well-being. In line with this urging, a primarily Ugandan team of researchers conducted a study of primary schoolchildren’s perspectives on conflict, peace, and peace-building. In the original study, which is b…
The testimony of neoliberal contradiction in education choice and privatisation in a poor country
With international momentum to achieve ‘Education for All’ by 2015, global attention is being paid to those parts of the world where mass formal primary schooling is relatively new. Uganda is such a place. In the context of ethnographic fieldwork at a poor, undocumented, private primary school in rural Uganda, parents were interviewed in order to better understand their conceptualisations of education during this ‘massification’ era. The intervie…
