Abstract
Children who have been adopted or have divorced parents may encounter psychological, social and educational problems. Through a detailed review of the literature, we describe risk and protective factors which may affect children’s future life and psychological wellbeing. As a proctevice factor, we underline the importance of a network among different professionals such as paediatricians, teachers and psychologists, who support these families and children.
