摘要
In the 2 plus years since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a substantial number of children have developed psychiatric disorders, severe psychological distress, and functional impairment. Despite significant financial support, the availability of mental health services, and the presence of relatively sophisticated mental health providers, a surprisingly large gap has emerged between documented need and service use. This article identifies some of the factors that appear to have contributed to this situation and potential remedies for ongoing difficulties.
