On the one hand, the present research will attempt to investigate the trauma of war as well as the experiences of the refugees in Asia Minor that led to their personality disorder. On the other hand, it will illuminate their experiences of being refugees in the social, cultural and economic space of the Greek state that also led to their internment and the labeling of these refugees as mentally unstable. To explore the limits between sanity and insanity, these experiences will be presented in parallel with those of the refugees who were not interned in Dromokaition but were successfully settled in Greek society.展开更多

In some areas, however, the old people are reluctant to move into local gerocomium because they think that these places are like an asylum, or even a prison for the aged, and they feel nothing home there. However, the home for the elderly we visited in August 2010, was a totally different story.展开更多
