Abstract

While all anthropologists go through personal adjustments in the course of the field work enterprise, many of us who work with refugees living within our own society experience special metamorphoses. This is particularly true when one's career evolves from academic research to policy making. In this article, I use my activities as coordinator of a health team to demonstrate aspects of role adjustment which are peculiar to refugee work, as well as some which are common to most applied anthropology. In addition, I outline the health care model developed to meet changing refugee needs in the Dallas area.
