TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Northern Ireland: The Psychological Impact of "The Troubles" JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Mallett, John A1 - Cairns, Ed A1 - Campbell, Andrea SP - 175 EP - 184 VL - 9 IS - 1-2 N2 - Maintained by the desires of the Catholic community to see Northern Ireland unified with the rest of Ireland and the Protestants' desire to remain part of the United Kingdom, violence in Northern Ireland lasted for 30 years, causing 3,585 deaths. This violence impacted people's lives through mental health and intergroup relations. While some individuals were deeply scarred by "the troubles," most learned to cope partly by habituation, distancing, and/or denial. The impact on intergroup relations has been subtler but more damaging. Segregation in housing and education is widespread. This in turn has made it harder to reach a long-term settlement.
