The chronically traumatized child

Article Abstract:

Psychological trauma, when repeatedly experienced, can affect the child's ability to recover emotionally and develop into a healthy functioning adult. The impact builds a set of defenses and personality make-up in the child that continue through adolescence into adulthood. After identifying the symptoms, the psychotherapist helps the traumatized child to recover from the impact by rebuilding a positive image and addressing the troubled personal interactions. The countertransference issues that emerge during the treatment are significant in directing the therapist.

Parent-child separation: a comparison of maternally and paternally separated children in military families

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on children of military families, who are the most seriously affected by job-related separations, highlights the importance of the father's role in their child's development. The quality of psychosocial functioning of children experiencing extended maternal separation, and those experiencing paternal separation is the same. Children, in recent times, show greater adaptability to parental separation. The results can have a significant effect on social work practices.

An exploratory investigation of family functioning for child inpatients: implications for practice

Article Abstract:

Social workers are tasked with addressing family problems that remain when a child is admitted for inpatient psychiatric care. A survey of families with children in inpatient treatment found that their problems are significant regarding problem solving, affective communication, affective involvement and behavior control. In addition, children in treatment report a greater level of dysfunction in the family than their families themselves are willing to admit.
