This personal narrative recounts a psychiatrist's experiences treating Vietnamese civilians and the Aborigines of the Malayan jungle during the Vietnam War, which inspired a lifelong commitment to refugee care. The book chronicles the establishment of a psychiatric clinic for refugees from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, focusing on culturally sensitive treatment approaches and the profound stories of loss and trauma from patients. Through these narratives, readers gain insight into the human tragedies endured by refugees, as well as their remarkable paths to healing. The author also reflects on the personal challenges of providing care to those who have survived unimaginable trauma. This collection of stories aims to foster empathy and understanding for the hardships faced by refugees.
