Explore interventions and treatment methods designed to help curb
the alarming trend toward violence in today's youth! Written in
jargon-free lucid prose, Psychological Trauma and the Developing
Brain: Neurologically Based Interventions for Troubled Children
specifically shows how positive early experiences enhance brain
development and how traumatic life experiences, especially child
abuse and neglect, can affect a child's brain and behavior. Through
carefully selected case studies, the book offers basic principles
of treatment and a broad range of interventions that target the
multiple symptoms and problems seen in children with a history of
childhood trauma. Offering a new psychobiological model of child
development, this book incorporates the influence of both genes and
the environment and conceptualizes normal and pathological
development in terms of common underlying processes. For readers
concerned with promoting healthy development in children and
helping children recover from childhood trauma, this engagingly
written book describes exactly how a child's social/interpersonal
environment can positively or negatively influence brain
development. Throughout the book, the authors highlight the
interrelationship between neurobiology and psychology. They present
basic information about brain development and organization,
describe exactly what is going on inside the brain at each stage of
development, and illustrate these concepts through a detailed case
study of a preschooler with severe problems in communicating and
relating. They discuss the pernicious effects that traumatic stress
has on brain and behavior, differentiating between simple and
complex PTSD, and review the specific brain impairments currently
attributed to a childhood history of maltreatment. Using their
unique psychobiological perspective and illustrative case studies,
the authors evaluate the principles and strategies of treatment,
showing how relationships and experiences can mitigate the effects
childhood trauma. After fleshing out the shocking cost to society
of child maltreatment, the authors offer broad policy prescriptions
that promote healthy development, including basic strategies for
prevention and early intervention. Psychological Trauma and the
Developing Brain: Neurologically Based Interventions for Troubled
Children will show you: how interpersonal experience shapes brain
development what is going on in the brain during the critical first
six years how therapeutic relationships and interpersonal
experience can promote emotional and cognitive development how
childhood maltreatment can damage the brain and impair the
developing mind what types of experiences and therapeutic
strategies can mitigate the effects of childhood trauma what policy
prescriptions, programs, and early intervention strategies can be
implemented to promote healthy development
