Antisocial personality disorder in children and adolescents with refugee/forcible displacement backgrounds

Abstract

The problematic of integration and social inclusion appears to be highly crucial issue under the prism of societal introduction of children and adolescents possessing refugee/forcibly displacement backgrounds. Besides acute accompanying depression, PTSD, other psycho-emotional disorders related directly to previous traumatic experiences (war, armed conflicts, political, economical insecurity/instability, persecution of an individual, discrimination, degrading treatment etc). The necessity to distinguish specific factors of integration/social inclusion of minors with refugee/forcible displacement backgrounds was posed drastically, once the Russian full-scale invasion on the territory of Ukraine took place on February 24, 2022. The war caused a massive influx of Ukrainian refugees/forcibly displaced persons to the territory of particularly European Union. Among newcomers, there is more than 50% of children/adolescents of different age groups. Under the prism of understanding specific features of going through transitional age in case of all ordinary minors, we have decided to lead a research on development of the antisocial personality disorder in case of minor refuge seekers on the territory of the EU, by bringing as an example actually Ukrainian youth. On the basis of our current research, we have distinguished main differences between ordinary transitional period and IDP in children/adolescents with refugee/forcible displacement backgrounds), as well as provided main reasons, which may cause the development of the analyzed disorder in minors in general.
