A car accident, an earthquake or flood, being attacked by a dog, undergoing a frightening medical treatment?all are distinctly different events yet all provoke common symptoms of psychological trauma. These symptoms may include fearfulness, nightmares, and dramatic behavioral or personality changes. And parental anxiety over changes in a child can, in turn, complicate the healing process.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Children and Trauma teaches parents and professionals about the effects of such ordeals on children and offers a blueprint for restoring a child's sense of safety and balance. Cynthia Monahon, a child psychologist who specializes in the treatment of psychological trauma, offers hope and reassurance for parents. She suggests straightforward ways to help kids through tough times, and also describes in detail the warning signs that indicate a child needs professional help. Monahon helps adults understand psychological trauma from a child's point of view and explores the ways both parents and professionals can help children heal.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eUnderstanding the Experience of Trauma for a Child.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sources of Childhood Trauma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Signs of Psychological Trauma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Factors Influencing Children's Reactions to Trauma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Trauma in the Family: Reactions to Trauma.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Healing Process: How Parents Can Help Their Child.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Complications of Trauma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When Professional Help is Needed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Psychotherapy for Psychologically Traumatized Children.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Afterword: Living With the Memeories.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52475139457304,"sku":"9780787910716","price":18.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787910716.jpg?v=1785805496","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/children-and-trauma-a-guide-for-parents-and-professionals-paperback-softback-9780787910716","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
