Children exposed to the same traumatic experiences may have different reactions and needs for psychosocial support. Further, psychosocial assistance to war-affected children often occurs not through the provision of therapy by outsiders but via support from insiders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach contributor has worked extensively with children in war zones in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. They refrain from common perceptions of children as victims of war-induced trauma to provide a holistic understanding of children’s experiences. Each helps pinpoint ways to reduce further violence, foster well-being and nurture the kinds of social connections that can liberate children from the pathologies of war so that they can mature into healthy and well-adjusted adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther contributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Alastair Ager, Cairo Arafat, Catherine Chen, Amy E.
