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.
在2001年9月11日恐怖袭击事件发生后的两年多时间里，大量儿童出现了精神障碍、严重心理困扰和功能损害。尽管有大量资金支持、心理健康服务可及，且有相对经验丰富的心理健康服务提供者，但在已记录的需求与服务利用之间却出现了惊人的巨大差距。本文指出了一些似乎导致这种情况的因素以及解决当前困境的潜在补救措施。
