The Birth of a Sick or Handicapped Baby: Impact on the Family

Examines the struggles engaged in by parents and siblings to integrate a newborn with a disability or chronic illness into the family.

Real families speak of their experiences and the results of a two-year study are offered. Long-term consequences for the parents, for the siblings, and for the emotional and mental development of the living disabled child are discussed.

This tape is appropriate for viewing by educators, physicians, parent groups, and clinical trainees (in psychiatry, obstetrics, nursing, psychology, social work and infant mental health). (AG-5) VHS ($19.95) and DVD ($49.95)

Available in the PAL format - the standard format in Europe and other countries.
