ABSTRACT

This defines what the internal situation is. For instance community characteristics such as learned helplessness, dependency, cumulative “social” trauma (CST), poverty, deficiency in access to and appropriate use of resources affect the potential fit. Often, fundamental improvements must be made in combination before fit can be addressed. Table 1 points out some symptom characteristic of settings where CE has been shown to be useful at the community level, and we have expanded this to show how these same symptoms are present at the international level.
