INTRODUCTION
This bibliography is an effort to compile prominent research and literature on refugee

mental health, from general information to screening and assessment processes, effective
interventions and best practices in therapy, clinical treatment and culturally specific
modalities.
The purpose of this bibliography is to provide an available resource for scholars,

researchers, service providers, students, and community members who work and provide
care to refugees and asylum seekers. This bibliography is not an exhaustive document, thus
our team considers this as a living document. We aimed to develop a comprehensive file that
could be helpful for beginner to advanced practitioners whom are passionate to learn more.
It is likely that we missed sourcing significant literature. As such, we will continue to add to
this document and look forward to receiving feedback and cooperation from readers to
extend this work. If you have any concerns or would like to add to this document please
