AB - Children in shelters for battered women are at an increased risk of adjustment problems due to their family circumstances. The present discussion centres on early intervention procedures that hold promise for promoting the child’s recovery following family violence and disruption, with a particular emphasis on methods that are sensitive to the child’s developmental level and needs. It is argued that early intervention should focus on children’s attitudes about aggression and family behaviour as well as skills for resolving interpersonal problems. It is postulated that children who receive educational and supportive assistance in adjusting to the aftermath of family violence will show positive signs of adjustment over time. Preliminary data supporting these procedures are presented in the context of research progress in early intervention.
