Maladjustment

A study on mothers of ten children who had long recovered from severe burns indicated the existence of lasting emotional maladjustment in both children and mothers, related at least in part to the trauma of the bum. They contained evidence of adjustment problems of sufficient magnitude to justify in ordinary clinical practice, their treatment in an outpatient child psychiatric clinic. All but two of the mothers in their samples were described as depressed by the two interviewing psychiatrists; six of the seven mothers criedy during the interviews whenever the children’s burns were mentioned. Feelings of guilt were common with all.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Close relatives of patients hospitalized for burns showed specific stress syndromes characterized by intrusive and avoidant responses to the post-bun trauma. The intrusive-avoidant stress responses could not be predicted by demographic information, severity of the burn, facial disfigurement or actual responsibility for the burn; but by the mothers blaming themselves for the injury to their child.
