TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Traumatic symptomatology in children who witness marital violence JO - International journal of emergency mental health A1 - Finkelstein, J. A1 - Yates, J. K. SP - 107 EP - 114 VL - 3 IS - 2 N2 - For many years, research has demonstrated the devastating effects of violence upon children, particularly in the form of direct physical and sexual abuse. What has only recently come to into focus are the potential effects of witnessing violence upon children. This area of vicarious victimization seems of particular import given the fact that so many youngsters are known to witness violent acts within their own households. This paper shall review the psychological effects which may be effected upon children as a result of witnessing marital violence. Relevant research issues concerning the potential roles of moderating and mediating variables will also be discussed.
