Abstract

Neither scientific analysis nor warmhearted concern are adequate to provide a practical understanding of how wars affect children. Without rejecting either approach, however, the author shows how a balanced idea of the problem can be formed. Drawing on his knowledge as a neuropsychiatrist and his experience as a child in wartime, he reviews the causes and effects of the sufferings involved, and makes some suggestions for a practical response.
