The delay in child rearing on the part of Holocaust survivors and its impact on the psychological health of their children was examined using meta-regression techniques. A negative relationship was found between anxiety and depression and delay in child rearing. Specifically, a longer time lapse appears to relate to lower levels of depression and anxiety. Findings relating to paranoia were contrary to this pattern, but, this may have been a result of insufficient data. The positive effects of resolution of mourning as well as removal from immigration experiences are proposed as possible explanations.
