Presenting state-of-the-art knowledge and treatment approaches for working with very young children affected by trauma, this book fills a crucial need for mental health professionals and child welfare advocates. Readers gain an understanding of the impact of severe stress on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; how trauma disrupts crucial early relationships; and ways to collaborate with parents, other caregivers, and broader support systems to facilitate healing and prevent further traumatization. Guidelines are provided for conducting effective assessments and intervening with vulnerable children and families in traditional mental health contexts and in pediatric, legal, and community settings. Giving particular attention to the needs of children who have been neglected or abused, the book also addresses other forms of trauma, including illness, injury, exposure to domestic and community violence, and parental loss.
