METHODS A total of 223 children from 136 families and their 160 parents were investigated from multiple perspectives in a cross-sectional study. The consistency of different adjustment reports between family members was examined. Through mixed models, the differences between parental HRQoL and the children's symptomatology were studied with regard to the type of parental illness. The prediction of children's adjustment through parental HRQoL was further examined. Additionally, gender and age of the children were considered. RESULTS Half of the children exhibited psychosocial problems. Gender and age differences were independent of the type of parental disease. In families with parental cancer, the reports of children's adjustment were more consistent between family members than in families where a parental mental disorder was present. We found differences in HRQoL between families with mentally ill parents and those with parental cancer patients. Specifically, the healthy partners of mentally ill parents showed worse HRQoL compared with healthy partners of cancer patients. Healthy parents' reduced HRQoL was associated with worse adjustment in their children, regardless of the type of parental illness, but this result was not found for ill parents. CONCLUSION Family members confronted with parental cancer or mental disorders are more burdened compared with those from the normal population, independently of the type of disease. Our results indicate that the type of a parental disease has no direct effect on children's adjustment. However, there are disease-specific effects on parental HRQoL, which are associated with children's adjustment.}, subject = {Adolescent}, language = {en} } @article{LamparterHolsteinThiessenetal.2010, author = {Lamparter, Ulrich and Holstein, Christa and Thießen, Malte and Wierling, Dorothee and Wiegand-Grefe, Silke and M{\"o}ller, Birgit}, title = {65 Jahre sp{\"a}ter}, series = {Forum der Psychoanalyse}, volume = {26}, journal = {Forum der Psychoanalyse}, issn = {0178-7667}, doi = {10.1007/s00451-010-0053-5}, pages = {365 -- 387}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{MoellerLamparterWiegandGrefe2012, author = {M{\"o}ller, Birgit and Lamparter, Ulrich and Wiegand-Grefe, Silke}, title = {Und pl{\"o}tzlich war ich ganz allein: Traumatisierende Erfahrungen einer Jugendlichen w{\"a}hrend des Hamburger Feuersturms und ihre transgenerationale Weitergabe uber drei Generationen}, series = {Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie}, volume = {61}, journal = {Praxis der Kinderpsychologie und Kinderpsychiatrie}, issn = {0032-7034}, doi = {10.13109/prkk.2012.61.8.623}, pages = {623 -- 640}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Air strikes on Hamburg in 1943 (Operation Gomorrha) were a historical turning point and had a deep impact on both cityscape and history of Hamburg.

Aiming at closing this gap interviews with witnesses, their children and grandchildren, as well as the whole family, were conducted in the context of an interdisciplinary research project. Based on the example of an interview with a at the time of the Operation Gomorrha eleven years old witness, her daughter, and grandson the biographical localisation of war experiences and transgenerational transmission will be explained and discussed.}, subject = {Adolescent}, language = {de} }
