Uprooting and resilience: Women’s experiences of war displacement.

The results were conceptualized in terms of the resilience cycle and anchoring. We suggest that the women move from the deterioration phase to the growth phase of the resilience cycle, with bidirectional movement between stages. A key factor directing movement between stages was the presence or absence of anchors in the woman's life. Implications for practice and policy, such as reinforcing relevant anchors in the women's lives, recognizing the complex nature of the resilience process, and developing comprehensive long-term assistance for displaced women, are discussed.
