Psychiatric sequelae in adolescent bone marrow transplantation survivors : implications for psychotherapy
1UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital, Los Angeles, California.
Abstract:
Survivors of life-threatening pediatric illness and their families present a number of psychotherapeutic challenges. The authors present pilot data evaluating the long-term psychiatric impact of pediatric bone marrow transplantation on 10 adolescent transplantation survivors compared with a matched control group. On a quantitative assessment of posttraumatic stress symptoms, the survivors reported a consistent but low level of symptoms. Their narratives about the experience suggest the need for ongoing mental health assessment in addition to specific interventions with families early in the treatment.
