Abstract

Mothers' perceptions of their infants' and toddlers' reactions to stressors related to the Gulf War were examined. Substantial distress reactions were displayed in somatic symptoms, behavioral disturbances, difficulties in routine functioning, and regressive behavior. Coping reactions were manifested in cooperative, helpful, and symbolic behavior. Reactions were found to be related to proximity to missile target zones, family reactions, and age of the child. 1993 American Orthopsychiatric Association
