The Effects of Systemic Family Violence on Children's Mental Health.
McCloskey, Laura Ann; And Others
Child Development, v66 n5 p1239-61 Oct 1995
Examined the link between different forms of family aggression and children's symptoms of psychopathology through interviews with 365 mothers and 1 of each mother's children between the ages of 6 and 12. Found that although domestic violence predicted children's general psychopathology, little evidence was uncovered for the presence of specific disorders as a result of family disfunction. (MDM)
