"But he suspects that disrupted schooling and family life may be doing more lasting mental harm than the violence itself."

There is no need to engage in speculative hypothesis.

He should have learned from the experience of those who survived the destructions of World War II without experiencing normal schooling and family life.

And from the experience of those who survived Soviet deportations into Asia with NO schooling or family life.

He should have interviewed the youngsters who survived ethnic cleansing in places like Srebrenica - without experiencing normal schooling and family life.

And last, but not least, its not too late for him to go and interview the youngsters (now young adults) born and raised in Chechnia and Dagestan in the past two decades who lived through two wars with the Russian security forces - all without ever experiencing normal schooling and family life.
