Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University / This study will proceed on the assumption that there
is a general recognition that the children who were separated
from their fathers during World war II suffered
more from the effects of the war than those children whose
fathers remained at home. The fathers who were in the service
brought about a disruption in family life which was
abnormal and damaging to the wholesome growth of the children
so that they did not have the best possible opportunities
for their emotional development.
The purpose of this study is to examine a group of
cases in treatment at the Worcester Youth Guidance Center
in which there was separation from the father involved to
see what relationship the absence of the father has to the
underlying problem. The group consists of thirty-five
children who have been treated some time between January 1,
1949, am December 31, 1951. It is possible that many of
these cases are still in treatment. The effect of the absence
of the father on the mother and on the environment
would also have some bearing on the problem of the child,
so these factors will also be considered.
