Psychological Effects of the War on French Children

MARIE HELEN MERCIER M.D.1 and J. LOUISE DESPERT M.D.2

1 University of Paris, formerly Consulting Pediatrician, Hospital Necker, Paris, France

The psychological and physical effects of the war on French children have been briefly outlined. Obviously these are only the immediate effects. What the remote effects will be, one can only speculate.

The many deficiencies and traumatic influences to which the children have been submitted, the disintegration of families, the profound social and moral changes produced by invasion,--all these factors caused modifications of the child's character and mental attitude which are at this time difficult to evaluate.
