The research deals with the perception of family and its relationships by children from families in which the their parents are currently handling divorce. Some measured values are compared between the results of children who live with both biological parents and children whose parents are just getting divorced.
The research group consists of 14 children from the divorcing families and 19 children from the families with both biological parents. The children are between ages of 6 and 13 years (mean 10 years) who came to the clinic for educational, anxious or school problems.
Gehrig and Wyler's Family System Test (FAST) was used.
