Summary:
This work brings the field of childhood trauma in to the new century by offering fresh insights on five major topic areas in child and adolescent PTSD: techniques for comprehensive evaluation, forensic aspects of traumatized children, juvenile offender and incarcerated youth, biological treatment strategies, and the relationship between exposure to trauma in childhood and the development of psychiatric disorders in adulthood. Mental health practitioners and trainees, as well as attorneys, pediatricians, and school personnel, will find this thoroughly annotated volume an invaluable roadmap in their journey toward understanding PTSD and discovering more effective treatments for traumatized children and adolescents.
