  • Title: When emotionally troubled children grow up: adjustment in young adults who attended a psycho-educational treatment center.
    Author: Tissue R, Korz AC.
    Journal: Child Psychiatry Hum Dev; 1993; 23(3):175-82. PubMed ID: 8477618.
    Abstract:
    This study examined post treatment outcomes of 88 young adults who attended a psycho-educational center for moderately to seriously emotionally troubled children. Over 60% made positive adjustment to adult life; the remainder were marginally functioning. Most subjects did not continue after high school with post-secondary education or vocational training nor did they or their parents receive individual and family therapy or supports from social services. Academic skills and parents' involvement in psycho-therapy were predictors of positive adjustment; child abuse was negatively correlated with adjustment.
