By age 16, significant - one might even say "alarming" - numbers
of students are demonstrating signs of posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). Students with PTSD are more likely to develop a
range of problems, from delinquent behavior to eating disorders to
substance abuse to dropping out. For the school-based professional,
the ability to recognize these symptoms and warning signs is
essential.
Emphasizing prevention as well as intervention, Identifying,
Assessing, and Treating PTSD at School clearly defines PTSD,
explains its adverse affects on children's academic and
social-emotional skills, and offers expert guidance on how to
recognize student needs and provide appropriate services. This
volume, designed as a practical, easy-to-use reference for school
psychologists and other educational professionals: (1) Makes the
case for why school psychologists and their colleagues need to be
more prepared, willing, and able to identify and serve students
with PTSD. (2) Identifies the causes, prevalence, and associated
conditions of PTSD. (3) Provides a review of screening, referral,
and diagnostic assessment processes. (4) Reviews appropriate
treatments for students with PTSD.
Today's youth live in an increasingly uncertain world, and
school psychologists, counselors, social workers, and general and
special education personnel will find Identifying, Assessing, and
Treating PTSD at School an invaluable resource in their
practices.
