Intro & question

[Robin Einzig <reinzig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello--

I just joined this list, and am excited to join the conversation and learn 
from all of you.  Just to let you know who I am, I am a Ph.D. candidate at 
Tufts University in Child Development/Clinical Developmental Psychology, 
and I have been working with young children typically classified as 
"at-risk" (in one form or another) for the last 25 years.  My current 
interests and research focus on young children and violence.  I am 
currently working on a dissertation proposal on the effects on and status 
of siblings of children who die as a result of child abuse or neglect.  If 
any of you have experience with that subject (I think I have found most of 
the few research articles with that particular focus, but would welcome 
more!) or would like to throw your two cents in, I would love to hear from 
you.  My particular concerns at the moment are about accessing the 
population, and the dearth of information/focus on that particular 
population of children.  Any comments/questions/suggestions/references 
would be most welcome.

Glad to join you.
