Abstract
Children now experience war as they never have in the past. This artic le presents clinical impressions of children from war zones and sugges ts interventions that might ameliorate the horrors of war for some of these children. It also describes the evolving framework in internatio nal law (i.e., the United Nations) that provides a context for impleme nting some of these interventions and for insulating children from som e of the devastating effects of war.
