Much information is available concerning violence in

accept that fundamental attitudes are molded within the family
matrix of the childhood years, but are our judgments about these
influences accurate? Is an event so devastating to an adult
understanding, as when one parent kills the other (Kaplan et al.),

these influences when a child is burdened with the psychological
effects of an acute violent episode and the loss of parents, possibly

examined in a family characterized by an active factor chronically
facilitating violence; research on children growing up with ~an
