Children and Mothers in War: An Outcome Study of a Psychosocial Intervention Program.
Dybdahl, Ragnhild
Child Development, v72 n4 p1214-30 Jul-Aug 2001
Evaluated effects on children in Bosnia and Herzegovina of a 5-month psychosocial intervention program of weekly group meetings for mothers. Found that although all participants were exposed to severe trauma, their distress varied considerably. The intervention program had a positive effect on mothers' mental health, children's weight gain, and several measures of children's psychosocial functioning and mental health. (Author/KB)
