Article Title: A preventive intervention program for bereaved children: Problems of implementation
Abstract: A brief, standardized intervention program to facilitate children's adjustment to the terminal illness and death of a parent posed the following implementation problems: estimation of patient life expectatancy; engagement of the family in crisis; adhesion to the parental guidance model; and termination of formal clinical intervention. Resolution of these issues is described, and adaptation of such programs to other high‐risk populations is considered. 1991 American Orthopsychiatric Association
