Abstract
Parental abduction is believed to exact a significant emotional cost from the children who are the objects of such actions. This article, drawing on longitudinal survey data, examines the change in children that occurs at two different time periods following the children's return to their searching parents. It is a followup to an earlier article published in this journal. The long-term impact on children of being victims of abduction is also discussed. Implications for therapists treating these children and their parents are included.
