Children with a history of significant neglect and/or physical,
sexual, and/or emotional abuse are at higher risk for developing
long-term emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns, which
have implications past childhood and into adulthood. Early trauma
impacts individuals' health in ways that reach far past the obvious
and immediate damage. It correlates with higher incidences of
various mental health disorders, it can alter brain structures, and
it can make individuals more susceptible to a variety of diseases,
including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, fibromyalgia, and
diabetes, among others. The research collected in this compendium
offers vital guideposts to professionals across a wide spectrum of
disciplines. It provides a foundation for ongoing research into
this area of study, which is so vital for the well-being of our
children and their futures. Understanding the long-term effects of
childhood trauma is now integral to the daily clinical practice of
professionals from many fields, including educators, social
workers, mental health professionals, family and substance abuse
counselors, police, caregivers, and criminal justice service
providers. The boundaries between social workers and other
professionals are blurred or nonexistent. This insightful book
provides a nuanced look at the outcomes of childhood trauma and
provides a greater understanding to help build more effective
cross-disciplinary intervention strategies.
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Research into
the effects of child abuse has experienced an explosion over the
last few decades, resulting in a far more wide-ranging
understanding of this grave societal problem. This compendium
volume collects some of the most recent research and organizes it
within three categories: societal effects, effects on health
(including mental health) behaviors, and epigenetic effects.
Specific topics include the associations between childhood abuse
and the following factors: Juvenile sexual offending Juvenile
delinquency Adult aggression Cognitive development Adult smoking
Sleep patterns Suicidal behaviors Psychopathology Epigenomic
mechanisms Edited by a Harvard developmental behavioral
pediatrician, this important compendium offers state-of-the-art
knowledge to professionals and graduate students in the helping
fields. The articles collected here provide researchers with
foundations for further investigations, while they give active
professionals greater power in the fight against child abuse.
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.
