Self-esteem in parents of children abducted by the other parent
Abstract This article presents findings from a study of 371 parents who experienced child-loss due to abduction by the other parent, a growing phenomenon recently estimated to occur 350,000 times a year. The analysis reported here examined the influence on parental self-esteem of selected parental characteristics and variables associated with the circumstances surrounding abduction. Recovery of the abducted child was found to be an important contributing factor to the self-esteem of parents who had experienced abduction, and the implications of that finding are discussed.
