Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n2 p129-41 Feb 1998
Families of 72 children with sexual behavior problems completed a structured interview and psychometric measures. Caregivers manifested stresses across many variables including income, criminal arrest, family violence, sexual abuse, social support, modulation of emotion, and attachment to the child. Foster parents consistently reported lower levels of stress than biological parents. (Author/DB)
