Opis

While recent years have seen a vast increase in the literature on adult trauma, the interest in childhood trauma has only recently started to gain momentum, encouraging new research and the need for evidence-based interventions.

Here the editors have brought together an international list of contributors to look at both innovative and established treatment of trauma in a range of contexts, and provide up-to-date coverage of what is on offer in terms of prevention, assessment, treatment and research

Divided into three parts, main topics discussed are:

• risk and protective factors for the development of post-traumatic disorders
• conceptualizations of resilience and suggestions for making them operational
• evidence-based treatment models for traumatized children

Treating Traumatized Children will provide professionals with an up-to-date international perspective on the subject, as well as helping professionals and researchers to look to future treatments based on current evidence.
