- Summary:
- Over the past twenty years there has been rising interest in how traumatic stress impacts development. Children who experience traumatic stress early in life are at risk of developing scholastic, social, emotional, and cognitive difficulties. Neuroscience of Pediatric PTSD presents a compelling story on how neuroscience findings explain the difficulties these children are challenged with. Throughout this book, authors, Drs. Carrion and Weems, summarize key work done in areas pertinent to function and development. They discuss advances in the neuroscience of executive function, memory, emotional processing, and associated features such as dissociation, self-injurious behaviors, and sleep regulation. Each chapter is divided into sections focusing on pre-clinical research, adult research, and developmental research, and key issues such as comorbidity and treatment are highlighted in relation to these important neuroscience findings.
