I am hoping TIPSters can help me track down a wonderful article that APA
posted to their web site very shortly after the OKC bombing. It dealt
with what to tell children and how to help them deal with their fears
and anxieties. One of the major things I recall being covered was "Do
NOT lie to them", even in making an effort to assure them that they are
safe.
As I recall, it was the kind of article that should be a classic that
would be available for a long, long time, but APA seems to have
completely lost it. I knew I should have "lifted" that article and
archived that on my site!! I am hoping that one or more of you has it,
or made a hard copy, have the filename, etc.
I have been trying to get APA (American Psychological Assn, not the
other one) to resurrect the old page since Wednesday morning. The
problem is that they cannot find it. That is why I thought that if I
could locate a copy, or even just an old link with a filename, it might
help in tracking it down.
There are a lot of new pages that are quite good, but I recall this one
being more detailed in coverage.
