The Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Effects on youth adjustment, available interventions, and future research directions
文摘
Most studies on conflict and child adjustment in this context are cross-sectional, limiting the evaluation of risk and protective processes. Few studies attend to the multiple, integrated systems (e.g., family, community) that influence children’s adjustment. High levels of distress in children exposed to political violence are evident but very few treatment programs have been rigorously evaluated. Future work should aim to evaluate emerging theoretical models to understand the processes which influence child development in this context.
