About this title

Synopsis

The eighth volume in the "International Yearbook" series takes a close look at the "children of disaster" who survive a perilous upbringing but show a wide range of psychopathology as a consequence. Chapters deal with the issues of parenting and the child's development of self-image and self-concept under stressful conditions of varying types. Contributors to this volume shed light on the reactions of the child under such stresses in different cultures and at different stages of development. New ways of treating children in these predicaments have been given special consideration, particularly the interplay of diagnosis with therapeutic and preventative interventions. Situations addressed include disordered parents, physical illness, parental addiction, disaster trauma, developmental problems, violent environment, deprivation, maltreatment, child sexual abuse and others.
