Abstract

Eight weeks after the death of a parent, children from stable families (N = 38) were compared to depressed inpatients (N = 38) and normal children (N = 19). School behavior, interest in school, peer involvement, peer enjoyment, and self-esteem were similar for bereaved and normal children. Bereaved children functioned significantly better than depressed inpatients. As a group, the bereaved children from stable families did not experience significant, acute psychosocial dysfunction.
