Re: research on the effects of parental abduction

[Ralph C Underwager <under006@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try these:

Long, N., Forehand, R., & Zogg, C. (1991). Preventing parental child 
abduction: Analysis of a National project. Clinical Pediatrics, 30(9), 
549-554.

Lippert, J., & Hatcher, C. (1997, April 17-20). Forensic issues in 
parental abduction. Presentation at the American College of Forensic 
Psychology conference in Vancouver, Canada.

JoAnn Lippaert is at the Western Center for Child Protection in Reno, 
Nevada and Chris Hatcher is at the University of California in San 
FRancisco. Since they just gave a presentation on the topic, they are 
likely to know the current research.
