HEALING AMNESIA AS A PREREQUISITE OF DISRUPTION OF DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES IN REFUGEES AND FORCIBLY DISPLACED PERSONS: TRIGGERS AND REMEDIES

Abstract

Healing amnesia as a typical phenomenon for refugees/forcibly displaced persons constitutes a crucial mechanism of “erasing” painful memories on experiences, knowledge, suffering, challenges of the past, which may negatively affect future person’s existence and functioning. However, because of being not exclusively retrospective, but also prospective phenomenon, healing amnesia may significantly influence process of integration, social inclusion, as well as even may aggravate successful completion of daily life activities by primary refugees/forcibly displaced persons. What is more, despite general expectation of healing amnesia to be tightly connected with acute distress pattern in refugees/forcibly displaced persons, in most of cases this phenomenon is being recognized/self-declared in case of individuals postulating eustress pattern after painful experience. Moreover, healing amnesia with all aforementioned consequences, according to our research findings, may be provoked and aggravated by xenophobic tendencies, prejudices, biases, limitations and fears, which dominate in accepting society against newcomers. Therefore, the building of sustainable society, tolerant, open-minded attitude towards people with various backgrounds, may not just let newcomers avoid development of healing amnesia in all cases, where they could not experience it; but will also lead to successful integration and social inclusion of human, physical, psychological, mental and economical resources into accepting society, what will definitely be a trigger of development for any single accepting community of nowadays.
