Summary: Different definitions of child abuse and neglect are
analysed. Main theoretical explanatory models are described. Prevalence of
child abuse and neglect in Croatia is presented. Althoug decrease in the
number of registrated children is manifest in the last five years,
empirical research of psycho-social aspects of abuse and neglect in the
family indicates that during the years of war the "dark figure" increased.
It is partly a result of limited possibilities for preventive and treatment
activities during the war, but also smaller salience of this problem in
comparison to prevalence and intensity of victimization of children in
Croatia due to war.

Summary: A comparison of data from structured interviews with
mothers
was made between psychosocial adjustment of children
accomodated in a collective centre (N=125) and in host
families (N=582). Children in host families are more
frequently depressed and children in collective centres are
more frequently aggressive. The number of stress reactions in
children in host families decreases significantly with time.
The importance of psychological assistance was stressed.

Summary: The study looked into the congruency of factor
structures
of professionals' and nonprofessionals' attitudes toward
causes, conditions and responses to child abuse. Although
factor structure of their attitudes to child abuse is not
identical, certain degree of congruency between the following
factors identified in both sub-samples was found. Concordance
was higher among the attitudes to causes and conditions of
child abuse than among the reactions to this problem.
Keywords: attitudes towards child abuse, professionals and nonprofessionals

Summary:
Two groups of refugee families with children participated in
the program aimed at preventing children's mental health
problems: families that were accommodated in a shelter (N=58)
or with host families (N=78). During the four month period
number of stress-releted symptoms in children with host
families decreased for about 25%, but for children in shelter
this decrease was only 10.4%.

Meeting: 23rd International Congress of Applied Psychology
Held: from 07/17/94 to 07/22/94
Summary: Data about the psychosocial needs and problems of refugee
children (N-329) were tapped. A considerable range of stress-related
reactions among them were identified e.g. sleeping and eating discorders,
separation fears, withdrawal or aggression. As well general depression
score, measured by adapted Kovacs' Child Depression Inventory (CDI), was
for refugee children (N-52) significantly higher than was far school
children before war (N=158). Significant correlates of CDI score are worse
relation between family members, mother's poorer relation toward child and
child's school problems since they are in displacement.
Keywords: refugee children, traumatic stress, depression.

Summary: The aime of the paper was to evaluate the Xhild Abuse
Potential Inventori in Croatia (CAP). The four groups of parents
participated in the study: parents registraed for child abuse, parents
registred for neglect, "at risk" parents, and a sempel pf parents from
general population. Factor structure and reliability of CAP on our samples
was compared to those computed on American parents. Analysis of variance
has shown significant differences in CAP Inventoriy abuse score among all
the groups of parents. The results provided initial contribution towards
the validity of the CAP. The CAP is recommanded to reserachers and
practioners dealing with child abuse.
Keywords: Child Abuse Potential Inventory, validation.

Summary: Due to recent war in the country and enormous number of
refugees the problem of child abuse has been marginalized. Thou, for 1992
there are no reliable data about incidence of child abuse throughout the
state. In some areas (e.g, city in Zagreb) the reported number of cases
decreaded by more than 50%. The professionals agree that this is the
effect of poorer reporting and not of fewer abuse case. No comprehensive
child abuse preventive programs still exist, while several institutions for
children who lack parental care were destroyed during the war. In order to
develop child abuse and neglect preventive programs at the community level,
social indicators of child maltreatment were studied.
Keywords: child abuse and neglect, reporting, war, social indicators.

Held: from 05/07/95 to 05/11/95
Summary: The aim of this study is follow-up of posttraumatic
reactions and psychosocial needs and problems amon refugee adolesents. Year
and a half after fleing they still manifested high level of stress reaction
including depression, sleeping disturbances or hih levels of risk taking
behaviours. The level of depression correlated with the number of traumatic
events (.33). Life expectations were lower for those who manifested higher
level of depression and more stress reactions. The family support was found
to be an important mediator between exposure to traumatic events and
different posttraumatic reactions. The data were used for further
development of program of support.
Keywords: refugees, adolescents, follow-up of traumatic reactions.

Meeting: Treća godišnja konferencija hrvatskih psihologa
Held: from 05/25/95 to 05/27/95
Summary: The aim is to study sources of stress and specifities of
experience of adolescents in displacement. At the average each adolescent
experienced 4.2 stressfull events out of 16 offered. These are loss, or
heavy damage of mobile or immobile property (80%), loss of very significant
personal belongings (66.7%), family members going to war (66.7%), exposure
to enemy attacks (46.7%) and death of a close person (37.8%). Adolescents
also manifest a number of posttraumatic stress reactions. Most frequent
are: flashbacks (48.9%), loss of interest (40.9%), elevated psyhical
activity (33.3%), eating disturbances (33.3%), bitterness towards others
and irritability (31.8%).

Meeting: 5th European Conference on Law and Psychology
Held: from 08/30/95 to 09/02/95
Summary: One of the consequences of the war in Croatia is
significant increase in juvenile delinquent behaviou. Comparison of years
1993 to 1989 showed increase in juvenile delinquency for 26,9%.
Particularly disturbing is that 44% of these were aged 14 or younger. The
proportion of displaced and refugee youth among the delinyuents also
increased, ranging from 10% to 35% in various areas of the country.
Possible causes of increased juvenile delinquency in war-affected
communities are (1) fracturing of family roles, (2) decrease in available
for prevention, and (3) increased exposure of individuals, families and the
community to war-related stressors and traumas.
Keywords: juvenile delinqunet behaviour, war as social stressor.

Summary: Determining risk and protective factors has significance in
explaining maltreatment and treatment programs. A study of 48 abusive
and/or neglectful parents and 353 parents from general population was
conducted.They were parents of children between 6 and 12 years old. The
data were collected on six factor scales of Child Abuse Potential Inventory
(Milner, 1986) and 13 factors assessing socio-demographic variables and
socio-environmental stressors in the family. Discriminant analysis achieved
the total correct classification of 99%. An integrative model of child
maltreatment was suggested and related to literature.
Keywords: risk factors, child abuse and neglect

Summary: Research was conducted with the aim to test the
psychometric
validity of the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. On the basis
of 6 factor scales of the Inventory, a discriminant function
was calculated that enabled statistically significant
differentiation between parents who abuse and/or neglect
children (N=59) and parents from general population (N=519).
88% of correct posteriory classification was interpreted in
favour of criterion validity of the Inventory.
