Material type: Text

TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: MAR 1976Description: 7 pSubject: The focus is on children under 12, describing their responses to fantasy-eliciting techniques and their observed behavior after the flood compared with developmental norms for their age and reports ot their previous behavior. These children share a modified sense of reality, increased vulnerability to future stresses, altered senses of the power of self, and early awareness of fragmentation and death. These factors could lead to "after trauma" in later life if they do not make the necessary adaptations and/or do not receive special help to deal with the traumas.

The focus is on children under 12, describing their responses to fantasy-eliciting techniques and their observed behavior after the flood compared with developmental norms for their age and reports ot their previous behavior. These children share a modified sense of reality, increased vulnerability to future stresses, altered senses of the power of self, and early awareness of fragmentation and death. These factors could lead to "after trauma" in later life if they do not make the necessary adaptations and/or do not receive special help to deal with the traumas.
