Inez Schelfhout is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist who specializes in the impact of war on next generations. So intergenerational effects and intergenerational trauma. Inez works at the ARQ Center '45 and the ARQ Knowledge Center for War, Persecution and Violence. The countless conversations in the therapy room made Inez aware that these conversations have to take place at a social level. Her mission is to to develop healthcare policy for descendants of war victims, while also promoting knowledge about intergenerational effects outside of healthcare and therapy.
As we will discuss, Inez herself is a descendent of two grandparents who were held captive as children in Japanese concentration camps during the second world war in the former Dutch East Indies, which is now Indonesia. As their oldest granddaughter, she had questions about this past and the effects it has on her and her family. She even travelled to Japan to find out more. This ultimately led her to specialize in intergenerational effects after war. This past is something that Inez and I share, since my grandmother and her family went through similar experiences.
Here is some of Inez' public work, mostly in Dutch:
