Child trauma and violence is not an issue that is constrained to
one nationality or one ethnicity. A staggering number of children
around the world are subjected to violence and abuse, both domestic
and political. The current volume examines the issue of
developmental trauma from a variety of viewpoints, including
sociological, epidemiological, genetic, and psychiatric. The
chapters contained within are broken into the following sections:
Child neglect and violence from an international perspective The
effects of war and armed conflict on children's health and
development The impact of childhood trauma on mental and physical
health into adulthood Case studies of interventions that provide
possibilities for treatment in a variety of different contexts
Written by a researcher from Harvard Medical School and Children's
Hospital (Boston), this book provides an important resource for
understanding violence as an almost ubiquitous presence in
children's lives around the world, as well as offering directions
for treatment and interventions. This book is an important resource
for researchers, counselors, psychologists, child advocates, and
anyone who seeks to understand how adversity in childhood affects a
person's entire life.
