| Abstract |
Asylum-seeking children are one of the most vulnerable groups of displaced persons. The experience of being a detainee, with limited ways of communicating one's plight, shapes the expression of distress. Clinicians need to see the distress and symptoms of mental disorder as emerging in the context of the detention environment rather than within a traditional medical model. The use of diagnostic labels without elaboration does not provide an adequate account of the child's difficulties. The clinician has an important role in bearing witness to the harm done to detainees as well as trying to prevent harm in whatever way possible. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 February 2015.
All research outputs
#1,497,616
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America
#49
of 581 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,584
of 95,609 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America
#1
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 581 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,609 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
