Abstract
25 mothers of children with cerebral palsy who were doing daily intensive physical therapy (Vojta) completed questionnaires concerning their child's temperament, parental attitudes and how they coped with everyday problems. Their responses were compared to those given by mothers who were not under the stress of conducting therapy. The results revealed compensatory coping processes: Mothers doing therapy try to compensate for their child's stress by being overprotective in ambiguous everyday situations.
