Abstract
The poignancy of a child’s confrontation with stressful life experiences has engaged the interest and concern of many people. With respect to physical illness, previous study was focused almost exclusively on the sick child and his family, while little attention has been given to the well child of a physically ill parent. Our pilot study was motivated by an interest in the impact of chronic hemodialysis of a parent on the children living at home and on their relationship with the sick parent. We were interested in understanding how children perceived their parent’s illness and treatment by obtaining some knowledge of their fantasy life. We studied both center and home dialysis patients and their families in order to assess the impact of home therapy on the child.
