The eighth volume in the "International Yearbook" series takes a close look at the "children of disaster" who survive a perilous upbringing but show a wide range of psychopathology as a consequence. Chapters deal with the issues of parenting and the child's development of self-image and self-concept under stressful conditions of varying types.

Situations addressed include disordered parents, physical illness, parental addiction, disaster trauma, developmental problems, violent environment, deprivation, maltreatment, child sexual abuse and others.
