Abstract

The problem of the study was to investigate the influence of father absence on the diagnosed psychopathology of military dependent children. The purpose of the study was to analyze data obtained from military medical center records for dependent children of active duty military fathers in order to answer the following questions of research: 1) Does a difference exist among GAP diagnostic groups relative to number of father absences among military dependent children under the age of 18? 2) Does a difference exist in the severity of the primary diagnoses among military dependent children under the age of 18 with regard to number of father absences? 3) Does a difference exist among GAP diagnostic groups between first-born, middle-born, and last-born children of military dependents under the age of 18 relative to father absence?
