Description
Summary:A group of children ( N = 95) seen by our team at least one year previously for assessment after one parent had killed the other, was followed up by a postal questionnaire to the original referrer. Through this we examined a number of outcome variables including placement effects, the frequency of their contact with the surviving parent, the referrer’s view of the difference our intervention had made and their view on the child’s adjustment over time. We analysed the data to determine any associations between these factors to help us understand the difficulties these children face and to aid clinical decisions.
