“…The method of perceptual experiment is widely used in the study of various aspects of the speech of children with typical and atypical development (e.g., Lyakso, et al, 2020;. Based on the material in different languages, the ability to recognize the state of the speaker by the characteristics of his voice is shown (e.g., Paulmann, Uskul, 2014;Chronaki et al, 2018).…”

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that as of 2021 there were currently 84 million who have been forcibly displaced from their homes across the globe. The conflict in Ukraine has led to a further marked increase in these numbers. Mental health difficulties have been shown to be elevated in forcibly displaced people (including asylum seeking and refugee populations). Risk factors can be associated with events that occurred prior to, during, and after the migratory journey. Whilst there is recognition of the important impact that a history of traumatic events (e.g., torture, abuse and neglect) can have, social adversity in the form of 'daily stressors' (e.g., a lack of access to basic resources, isolation, lack of safety and security, family violence) is being increasingly recognised as an important determinant of the mental health of forcibly displaced people. Concerns have been raised about the potential medicalization of social adversity faced by displaced populations. There has also been a comparative lack of research investigating approaches that may be helpful for enhancing the quality of life and subjective wellbeing of forcibly displaced people. Psychosocial interventions and low-intensity psychological interventions can provide scalable opportunities for treating common mental disorders and promoting wellbeing. This presentation will focus on research studies that I have been involved in which have been undertaken in the EU and in sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for forcibly displaced people. These projects have involved the linguistic and cultural adaptation of interventions and assessment measures. The implications that this research has for the integration of forcibly displaced people in the EU and beyond will be discussed. This will include a focus on conceptual frameworks that provide opportunities for situating determinants of mental health in the socio-political context in which forcibly displaced people live their lives, and not just risk-and protective-factors specific to the individual. BiographyProf. Ross White (PhD, DClinPsy) is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Queen's University Belfast. He is an expert in Global Mental Health. He was lead editor of 'The Palgrave Handbook of Socio-cultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health'. Ross has research collaborations with the World Health Organization and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees investigating the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for reducing distress experienced by refugees particularly in the context and/or aftermath of humanitarian crises. He also has an interest in the processes involved in the linguistic/cultural adaptation of psychological therapies. Ross is the Principal Investigator on the ESRC/AHRC funded Community-based Sociotherapy Adapted for Refugees (COSTAR) project that is evaluating a psychosocial intervention for Congolese refugees living in Uganda and Rwanda.

“…At this moment, several research projects around the world in various fields (Lyakso & al., 2020, are defining and reviewing (Shaykhislamov & Makhmudov, 2020) this approach to linguistics: data on prototypical formant frequencies is showing up more and more. And it is my belief, that having numbers as an objective approach to error analysis will play in favour of language learning.…”

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. Charles DickensThese immortal words describe better than I ever could my almost 6 years of doctoral studies. Intense is an adjective that should be up there too. And emotional rollercoaster. And a few others, but Dickens did not add them, because he knew his prose better than me. He was also writing about culturally uprising London and crisis-stricken Paris, both subjects more harmless than writing about phonology. These 6 strenuous years certainly took a toll on my health, more concretely my weight. It jumped in all directions: from my initial "I'm happy with myself" 85kg, I ballooned up to "maybe I should eat less" 102kg. Thanks to a good nutritionist, I lived for a while without carbs and regained a healthy 78kg. Good things do not last though, and as the stress and the workload rose, so did my weight, again. This time it even went to "we need to seriously talk about this" 110 kg. Back to eating healthy food (aka algae and alfalfa), and leaving again the morbidly obese section…only to fall once again into the pit traps. 112 kg this time. I guess my health problems will not come to an end until this thesis is definitely a V thing of the distant past. If this research kills me, I hope my epitaph reads: It was worth the weight.Jokes aside, it was an arduous time indeed. Years of reading up, writing notes, preparing articles, rehearsing presentations, and, above all, countless sleepless nights. Nights full of doubts and writer's block. That blinking vertical line on a white page, waiting for words on my end, is scarier than that abyss staring back at you, that Nietzsche was so afraid of. It really is more terrifying, because it shows your limitations: either time or your own capabilities.But there would be another unpleasant surprise at store, a deadly pandemic that would change everything we knew, everything we thought. Things we took for granted were taken from us, things we never thought of became talking points. We lost too many, and we had to give up a lot in order to protect the ones we love. At the moment we are still trying to hold on, despite the infinite sadness and the additional toll this crisis is taking on our physical and mental health. Time was cut short, depression was spreading like the mind-killer it is and many people aged more in a few months than they ever did before.The common people are giving their best to survive, while hoping every night to get back to a time that seems so distant now. I am hopeful that we will prevail. I am hopeful because difficult times create strong people, and strong people create good times. Humanity faced hardships before, and thanks to the work of these...
