Hypotheses regarding intrapsychic disruption, specific types of anxiety and fear, and defense structure in young children with potentially fatal illnesses were tested by administering two projective tests to 24 Irish children (ages 3-6) with malignancies and 24 matched controls with non-life-threatening orthopedic diseases. Responses of the children with malignancies showed more imagery related to, and descriptions of, negative futures, loneliness, bodily intrusion, and nonbeing. Possible explanations of these findings and their implications for the treatment of children with potentially fatal illnesses are discussed.
通过对24名患有恶性肿瘤的爱尔兰儿童（3至6岁）和24名患有非危及生命的骨科疾病的匹配对照组儿童进行两项投射测试，检验了关于患有潜在致命疾病的幼儿内心精神紊乱、特定类型的焦虑和恐惧以及防御结构的假设。患有恶性肿瘤的儿童的反应显示出更多与负面未来、孤独、身体侵入和不存在相关的意象及描述。讨论了这些发现的可能解释及其对患有潜在致命疾病儿童治疗的意义。
