Homeless Women: Moving toward a Comprehensive Model.

Milburn, Norweeta; D'Ercole, Ann

American Psychologist, v46 n11 p1161-69 Nov 1991

Reviews the descriptive empirical literature on homeless women, using a theoretical perspective on stress. Finds that homelessness is highly stressful, and examines the sources and mediators of homelessness. Suggests that more is known about the risk factors than about the mediating factors that may decrease the stressful circumstances' impact. (JB)
