Description
Furthermore, "extreme circumstances of traumatization-disasters, catastrophes and overwhelming social situations-effect marked changes in the people subjected to them and leaves them with life-long problems" (Krystal, 1968, p. 1). In fact, "there is mounting evidence that the effects of a disaster can extend over several generations. Adverse effects of significant proportions can occur in children of survivors even when born several years after a particular disaster" (Boyd, 1981, p. 748).
