Summary: Finally, this dissertation also suggests that not all psychosocial effects of war are negative and that the suffering inherent in the war has allowed some people the opportunity to further develop their humanity and “strength”. A glimpse of this process is seen in current evangelical and catholic church movements as they emphasize cultural meaning systems other that those used in the war, focusing on the family and a non-political spirituality.
