Abstract: Utilizing the standardized Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90), emotional health scores of those experiencing psychosocial transitions were compared. Parents whose child died approximately 60 months earlier (N=62) were compared to new immigrants living in absorption centers who arrived approximately 8 months earlier (N=122). Even 5 years after the event, the emo tional health of bereaved parents appeared to be lower than the new immigrant group. The differences appeared more pronounced for females and for the 45 + year old groupings (male and female). Depression seemed to be contrary. In most instances, no significant difference in depression scores were noted.
