Research on POW experiences

Research on POW (Prisoner of War) experiences investigates the psychological, physical, and social effects of captivity on individuals. It examines how prisoners cope with confinement, threats, and loss of freedom, often using interviews, historical records, and psychological assessments. This research aims to understand the impact of captivity on mental health, resilience, and recovery, providing insights into human behavior under extreme stress. Such studies also inform military policies and support services for former prisoners, enhancing their well-being and resilience during and after captivity.
