Adjustment to Parental Loss in Childhood and Adolescence
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Parental loss is likely to be a stressful life event for bereaved children. Several studies have shown an increased risk of mental ill-health and psychosocial problems among affected children. The aim of this study was to systematically review literature in this area and to identify gaps in the research. Results indicate that research in this area is still in its infancy. While this topic has generated some interest in the West, particularly in the last 2 decades, no published literature in the Indian context was available. The importance of research in the Indian context pertaining to this area is elucidated.
