Volume 27 of Adolescent Psychiatry focuses on trauma and violence
among adolescents, and attends especially to the psychological,
biological, and social impact of trauma on its victims, especially
the young. Schonfeld Award papers offer a historical perspective on
adolescent violence in America, and examine terrorism by looking at
the appeal of ideologies that espouse violent revolution to young
people. Christopher Thomas and his colleagues, drawing on their
groundbreaking work on youth violence in Galveston, Texas, add a
study that links gang members with serious violent crime. A series
of papers by the Committee on Adolescence of GAP deals not only
with the nature, scope, and impact of trauma, but also with its
implications for mental health training and public policy,
helpfully supplemented by studies that consider the neurobiological
effects of trauma and the cultural and gender-based dimensions of
trauma. The clinical yield of these new perspectives is addressed
in chapters on interventions with traumatized adolescents and on
the special vulnerability of late adolescents to combat-related
PTSD. Clinical contributions of related interest show how effective
interventions can reduce the use of seclusion and restraint with
state hospital adolescent populations; and provide an up-to-date
understanding of the recognition of, and differentiation between,
early-onset schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. James Gilfoil
discusses the importance of families' attitudes toward
psychotherapy in the outcome of clinical work with adolescents.
Saul Levine dissects the various self-deceptions and myths among
mental health professionals and policymakers that have militated
against appropriate therapeutic care for adolescents. And Volume 27
concludes with an ASAP Position Paper that provides further
discussion of the role of societal attitudes about youth in both
the perpetuation of violence and the lack of appropriate
interventions.
