- Synopsis
-
Mental health professionals summarize the current understanding of the epidemiology and historical perspectives of childhood trauma, mental and physical health effects of life trauma, psychobiological sequelae in children and in adults of early life trauma, assessing impact through clinical science and societal effects, and clinical treatment strategies to reduce the impact. Among specific topics are early life trauma and abuse from the 1850s to the present, a developmental trauma disorder diagnosis for childhood interpersonal trauma, early life stress as a risk factor for disease in adulthood, a biological framework for traumatic dissociation related to early life trauma, scientific progress and methodological issues in studying recovered and false memories of trauma, and cognitive-behavioral treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder.
