Description
Summary:The author, who is acting director of the Child Guidance Clinic in Bristol, England, made a survey of inmates of a children's hospital damaged in an air raid: 61% showed signs of strain from 3 weeks to 2 months, but the majority recovered after that time. Eleven cases were specifically described.
