What is the long term impact?
On Saturday the Queen will unveil memorial in central London dedicated to the millions of women who contributed to the war effort six decades ago. The unveiling takes place against the backdrop of very recent terror in London. "We will not be terrorized" said Tony Blair in response to the horrific attacks.
But the attacks seemed aimed to cause maximum terror, striking at the familiar, disrupting every day routine to devastating effect. Fear is the immediate natural response but what's the longer term psychological impact on those involved directly and indirectly?
Jenni is joined by Felicity de Zulueta, consultant psychiatrist at the Maudesley Hospital in London and an expert on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Lesley Abdela who works with women in emerging democracies and has first hand experience of being in dangerous and life threatening situations.
