- Abstract
The article focuses on the mental health of siblings of children with cancer and the need of parents' care and attention to them. It offers information on the Mac Arthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB) self-report measure, that is used to assess the intrapsychic strain and conflicts of these children. It also reflects on risk of later psychiatric disorders in children, who were coping behaviorally well with the situation and not showing manifestations of psychiatric disorders.
