The study summarised here focuses attention on the multifaceted means by which individuals, families, and larger social systems cope with and overcome the stress of widespread physical destruction, losses, privation, and social disruption induced by a major disaster - in this case, the Topeka, Kansas tornado of June 8, 1966. Primary attention is given to how victim families recovered from this event and what long-term consequences in family functioning, if any, could be attributed to that experience.
