Abstract
The problem of psychological disturbances in children of single parents is relatively unresearched in South Africa. A survey of a psychological clinic population (Indian and “Coloured” children) is briefly reported. A large proportion (60.5%) of the 147 children attending the clinic were from nonintact homes, and boys with behaviour problems dominated this group.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
