Abstract
The underlying psychological and emotional components of distress were examined in 87 children with a parent in the terminal phase of cancer . Common fears, concerns, misperceptions, and behavioral consequences are analyzed, as are more severe psychological and behavioral reaction s. Implications for psychoeducational parent-guidance intervention are discussed.
