Helping Children Cope with Trauma bridges theory and practice in
examining emerging approaches to enhancing resilience and treating
traumatised children. Adopting a child-centred perspective, it
highlights the importance of the synergy between individual,
family, community and social interventions for recovery from
post-traumatic stress. Consisting of chapters by an international
range of contributors, the book is presented in three sections,
reflecting the ecological circles of support that facilitate
healthy development in the face of traumatic circumstances. Section
1, Individual, addresses the impact of exposure to trauma and loss
on post-traumatic adaptation, focusing on biological aspects,
attachment patterns, emotion regulation and aggressive behaviour in
children. Section 2, Family, looks at the concept of family
resilience, the impact of trauma on playfulness in toddlers and
parents, innovative models for working with children traumatised by
war, domestic violence and poverty and describes the challenges
faced by refugee families in the light of intergenerational
transmission of trauma. Section 3, Community, broadly explores the
concept of community resilience and preparedness, the centrality of
the school in the community during times of war and conflict,
post-traumatic distress and resilience in diverse cultural contexts
and the impact of trauma work on mental health professionals who
live and work in shared traumatic realities. The book concludes
with a theoretical discussion of the concept of Survival Mode as an
organisng principle for understanding post-traumatic phenomena.
Helping Children Cope with Trauma will provide mental health
professionals, child welfare workers, educators, child development
experts and researchers with a thorough understanding of the needs
of children after trauma and how those needs may best be met.
