Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a videotape of childrens' reactions to death on viewer's subsequent verbalizations about death in the course of family therapy. Two groups of thirty children in family therapy who had lost a member of their family participated as viewers and non-viewers of the videotape. The two groups were compared on the change in frequency with which they spoke about death during recorded family therapy sessions before and after the viewer group was shown the videotape. Significant gains in frequency were found for the viewer group and none were found for the non-viewer group.
