Young Children and Trauma Reviews

'A very timely collection of research and thinking from experts in the field of violence prevention.' - T. Berry Brazelton, MD, Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, USA

'This volume gives voice to young children who have been traumatized or abused; to those struggling to help both victims and traumatizers; and to individuals working in our nation's courts, clinical settings, and child welfare systems. Treatment and intervention are given a base founded on research, tested in practice, and motivated by caring. This is an extremely important and valuable book.' - Samuel J. Meisels, EdD, President, Erikson Institute, USA

'Relevant, authoritative, and user friendly, this book has the potential to be both helpful in practice and informative to professionals across diverse disciplines.' - Harvard Educational Review

'Osofsky helps the reader understand the significance of trauma for young children from a multi-perspective view. The book addresses the impact of trauma on neurophysiology, attachment, and culture, as well as the importance of family. Treatment interventions and current policy issues, such as foster care and the court system, are also considered. Used in a graduate clinical practice course, this book provides students with a solid introduction to the myriad and complex issues that traumatized children experience on multiple levels.' - Kathleen Monahan, DSW, LCSW, MFT, Director, Family Violence Education and Research Center, Stony Brook University, USA
