This study investigates traumatic stress, family separations, and attachment among Latin American immigrants. Those separated from family and those who are minors have a higher incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than their counterparts. Exposure to violence is the most bothersome event reported. Family separation has a significant effect on attachment anxiety. Marital status has a significant effect on attachment avoidance. Clinical implications are discussed.
