dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this quantitative research was to study mental health implications, specifically symptoms of depression, anxiety, and persistent complex bereavement among the families of the deceased and forced disappeared during the Lebanese Civil War. The research aim was to compare the families of the deceased with the families of the forced disappeared on the following variables: symptoms of anxiety, symptoms of depression and symptoms of persistent complex bereavement. A purposeful and convenient sample of 26 Lebanese individuals who had lost a core family member in the Lebanese civil war participated in the study, 13 of whom had lost a family member to death, and 13 others who had lost a family member to forced disappearance. Data were collected using a survey that included a demographic questionnaire, the “Beck Anxiety Inventory”, the “Beck Depression Inventory”, and the “Inventory of Complicated Grief”. Between-subjects t tests were used to test the hypotheses. As hypothesized, the results showed that individuals who had lost a core family member to enforced disappearance scored significantly higher on symptoms of anxiety, symptoms of depression, and symptoms of complicated grief than those who had lost a family member to death during the same time period in the Lebanese civil war. It is recommended to use clinical interventions that focus on psychoeducation, methods of narrative therapy that are based on storytelling for finding more positive meaning as well as approaches that increase the individuals’ tolerance for ambiguity.
