| Annotation | Most literature and media coverage on refugees and asylum seekers tends to focus on adults and children with little or no consideration of issues relating to the older asylum seeker. This short guest editorial considers the social policy ramifications of older asylum seekers with particular reference to the mental health of this group. The case of Sigmund Freud, who in 1938 was forced to flee Vienna with his family at the age of 82 is cited as an example. (JL). |
