Seeks to illuminate the reasons underlying an asylum seeker's choice of country of refuge. An examination of the statistics on asylum applications in the countries of the European Union reveals some specific patterns of origin and destination. The importance is analysed of three group factors in explaining the patterns of destination of asylum seekers: ties between the country of origin and country of asylum, the characteristics of the countries of destination and events during the actual flight and journey which might influence the destination of the asylum seeker.

Research study covering Vietnamese people arriving in the UK between 1982 and 1992. Compares their lives with people of other nationalities who are accepted as refugees or allowed to remain in this country for humanitarian reasons. Shows how experiences have differed between those who spent several years in camps in Hong Kong, and those who did not. Also looks at how understanding of English, previous qualifications, age on arrival, and whether or not people attended reception centres in this country, affect success of settlement here.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review all the research on Somali refugee communities’ “explanatory models” of “mental health” or psychological suffering, and also report original research in order to allow for more contexts on their “mental health” terms to emerge. Design/methodology/approach: The authors talked in a conversational manner with a small number (11) of Somali people (10 females and 1 male), but this was done intensively over time and on multiple occasions. They discussed their community terms for “mental health” issues but in their own contexts and with their own examples. Findings: The results showed that Somali as a community had three main groupings of symptoms: Jinn or spirit possession; waali or “craziness”; and a group of terms for serious anxieties, rumination, worrying and thinking too much. What was new from their broader descriptions of context was that the community discourses were based on particular contexts of the person and their behaviour within their life history, rather than aiming to universal categories like the DSM. Practical implications: Both research and practice on mental health should focus less on universal diagnoses and more on describing the contexts in which the symptoms emerge and how to change those contexts, especially with refugee and other less well-understood groups.
