INTERVENTIONS WITH CHILDREN AFTER DISASTERS .2.

Provides a summary and evaluation of disaster-related psychological in terventions with children and adolescents. Intervention models are gro uped in temporal sequence in relation to the disaster event (predisast er phase, impact phase, short-term adaptation phase, and long-term ada ptation phase). It is noted that most interventions are based on plaus ible conceptual assumptions, and convergence often can be seen in the content of interventions derived from diverse theoretical perspectives . Relatively little evaluation of disaster-related interventions with children has been published, and recommendations for research are pres ented.
