Abstract
A summary of a recently published review of Swedish and international literature concerning children exposed to abuse and neglect or manifesting failure to thrive was presented. The review was the 1st report appearing from the PRU group in Uppsala-Psychosocial Risk children in Uppsala. The group was a multidisciplinary team engaged in a research project about Uppsala children exposed to mental, social and physical risks in their homes. The project was financed by the Save the Children Fund. A 2nd main report, presenting the aims, material, methods, and results of the project, was planned for publication in 1979.
