  • Title: The children of imprisoned parents: a psychosocial exploration.
    Author: Sack WH, Seidler J, Thomas S.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 1976 Oct; 46(4):618-628. PubMed ID: 998741.
    Abstract:
    This study of children's reactions to the imprisonment of a parent identifies temporary behavioral symptoms that commonly follow the incarceration of a parent, as well as antisocial behavior on the part of a few pubertal children. The stigmatizing and traumatizing effects of imprisonment on the spouse and child left behind are discussed, and suggestions for clinical intervention are offered.
