TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Fallen apples JO - Journal of psychosocial nursing and mental health services A1 - Cline, Linda SP - 38 EP - 45 VL - 42 IS - 4 N2 - Children today often have to cope with living in fractured family systems in which multigenerational dysfunction and abuse is passed on to them. As a result, they often make decisions that lead them into unsafe, and possibly disastrous situations. Some children and adolescents cannot see beyond today. They are prone to giving up because they feel nothing can change. Growing up in physically violent homes can create children who are unable to control their own violent rages. While hospitalized, they often seek the struggle and emotional release that accompanies physical management. Physical management allows the children to be out of control and safe at the same time.
