Macksoud, Mona S.; Aber, J. Lawrence

Child Development, v67 n1 p70-88 Feb 1996

Interviewed 224 Lebanese children and adolescents using measures of war exposure, mental health symptoms, adaptational outcomes, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Found that the number of war traumas experienced by the subject was positively related to PTSD symptoms and that various types of war traumas were differentially related to PTSD, mental health symptoms, and adaptational outcomes.
