Sažetak
The objective of this study was to determine if the children of veterans suffering from chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have more emotional and behavioral disturbances than those of veterans without PTSD. The research involved 70 veterans with PTSD and 70 without PTSD and their spouses. The PTSD symptoms in father were assessed by the Clinical Administrated PTSD Scales (CAPS). The mothers assessed the disturbances in their school aged children through the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL). Both groups of children did not reach clinically significant cut-off scores on CBCL. However, the children of veterans with PTSD had significantly higher scores on scales of withdrawal, anxiety and depression.
