Abstract Even though we may be on the edge of a new world order, the recent crisis in the Persian Gulf makes it imminently clear that we are continually on the edge of nuclear war. The following review provides information on children's knowledge, feelings and fears about nuclear war. Implications for teachers to help address children's concerns are also discussed.—S.B.S.
Effects of the nuclear war threat on children and teenagers: implications for professionals.
Interview studies of youngsters are cited as evidence of their pervasive awareness of the possibility of nuclear cataclysm. It is suggested that the nuclear threat is a contributing factor in anxiety and other disorders noted among these youth. The role of mental health and other professionals in educating and guiding youngsters, and in working with them to reduce the anxiety and alleviate its causes, is outlined.
