Abstract
This research summary shows that different approaches are considered when helping children who have experienced trauma. The paper reviews these different approaches and discusses how in most of these cases, the direction is on having the child be supported by others who have also undergone the trauma. According to the paper, this is either in addition to or in lieu of individual therapy, depending on the severity of the trauma. The child can then recognize that he/she is not alone.
From the Paper
"Children living in violent areas of world, including the United States, often undergo traumatic experiences. In their study, Horowitz, McKay, and Marshall (2005) conducted a study to better understand the affect of community-level stressors, coping strategies, and resources to prevent exposure to violence or to mitigate its effects in an inner-city community. Parents and children took part in focus groups, and children also completed standardized instruments. The research participants consisted of parents and their children (8 to 17 years of age), in an inner city neighborhood of a large metropolitan city. "

Abstract
The paper discusses how a negative school experience affects the actions of the individual as an adult. The author argues that children with a disability suffer more than usual. He then states specific areas and draws attention to the basic issues that could develop like the tendency to commit murder.
From the Paper
" Unfortunately the stigma children receive when placed in classrooms with special learning needs remain well into adulthood. This situation is exacerbated when the faculty themselves misguidedly condone the negative behavior exhibited by the ?normal? students towards those with special needs. The effects of psychological abuse in the home have been well documented, but the effect of childhood taunting and educational labeling can have similar effects. Arguably a negative school experiences can have the same, detrimental effect as a negative home experience. For most children approximately eight hours of the day are spent in school, more if the child participates in extracurricular activities. School then becomes like a second home and those faculty and administrators in that school become figures of authority looked to for guidance, similar to the role of parent."

Outline
Introduction
The Definition and Meaning of ?Infancy Trauma?
The Effects of Infancy Trauma
The Treatment For Infancy Trauma
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Infancy trauma arises when an infant feels as if he/she is rejected or neglected. The emotion, which arises due to this rejection simultaneously, generates negative feelings with in the mind of the individuals and ultimately such individuals are attacked by infancy trauma. The findings and research in this regard have shown that an infant starts feeling emotions when he develops his ego. The development of ego starts after 6-8 months and during this time it is the responsibility of the parents to take care of the child. If due to any reason an infant is neglected at this age, then he is most likely to face infancy trauma in the later years of his life."

Abstract
This paper, presented as a cause and effect essay as opposed to a research paper, focuses on the effects and eventual treatment of childhood trauma. This paper discusses how and why experts must treat cases of childhood trauma much in the same manner as one would handle cases of child abuse or neglect. This paper delves into the motivations and the implications of violence and trauma being exposed to children and its significant impact on both their personality and psychological development. This paper also looks at how a child's cognitive and emotional development are impacted in later stages, long after the initial traumatic experience. The writer of this paper explores the treatments and therapies available to both parents and children in dealing with the long-term effects of neglect, abuse as well as exposure to traumatic events.
From the Paper
"It is also important to think of personality development and how to present things such as patterns of family violence, concentrating specifically on domestic violence among families in need. A lot of people don't know about differentiations made in the terminology of abuse such as discrete and episodic violence. I learned about violence being used to abuse children as being pushing, shouting, and yelling. In terms of violence, there is a lot of psychological and sexual abuse of children that goes on that affects their development, and this does not concentrate only on physical abuse. This makes the definition of trauma broader. In terms of physical abuse, this facet of child abuse can be divided into sections of mild abuse, severe abuse, and abuse resulting in injury."

Abstract
This paper discusses PTSD in children who have experienced trauma. Murder, famine, brutality, natural disasters, terrorists, and other types of trauma affect children. The paper shows that when children experience a trauma such as an automobile accident or national disaster such as destruction from a hurricane, the child will develop physical and emotional interactions that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.
From the Paper
"Today's world is filled with violence and trauma. Simply watching the news can bring violence into the home. For example, consider the frequency of media broadcasts about the collapse of the World Trade Center. Children are exposed to school shootings and other types of violence in the school system such as bullying. "It is estimated that as many as 25% of all children experience a traumatic even by the time they are 16 years of age" (Cook-Cottone, 2004, 127). Murder, famine, brutality, natural disasters, terrorists, and other types of trauma affect children. When children experience a trauma such as an automobile accident or national disaster such as destruction from a hurricane, the child will develop physical and emotional interactions that can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder".

Abstract
In this paper, the writer relates that while it is reasonable to suggest that all children experience some anxiety concerning school attendance and performance occasionally, some of these children become so fearful and anxious of attending school that they manifest severe psychosocial and physical symptoms that can dramatically affect their academic performance and social development. The writer notes that the use of hypnosis in the treatment of trauma-related distress can be traced at least to the time of Freud, who used the technique to encourage the ab-reaction and catharsis he believed were absolutely necessary to resolve conflict. The writer points out that since that time, hypnosis and hypnotherapy have continued to be used in treating people of all ages that suffer from anxiety and phobias based on a wide range of theoretical underpinnings. In this study the writer investigates the efficacy of using hypnosis, hypnotherapy and Ericksonian techniques to treat children and adolescents that suffer from school phobia. To this end, a critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature is followed by a synthesis of relevant studies. A summary of the research, conclusions and recommendations are presented in the concluding chapter.

From the Paper
"Young children and adolescents alike are at risk for a wide range of factors that can adversely affect their academic performance today. Young people may experience the loss of a parent through death or divorce, or they may become disabled through the onset of a debilitating disease. Likewise, peer pressure to engage in self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse or unprotected premarital sex can all affect academic outcomes. Unfortunately, these same behaviors - as well as some that remain unclear - can also contribute to the incidence of school phobia among these young people, a condition that remains perhaps better described in the scholarly literature than it is understood. This chapter provides an overview of hypnosis, hypnotherapy and Ericksonian techniques and school phobia to identify methods that can be used to help these young learners overcome these constraints to learning."

Trauma, 2005.
Examines and analyzes the nature of trauma from a clinical perspective.
1,550 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the successful treatment of trauma begins with close exploration of the nature of trauma including its symptomology and pathology as well as examination of its psychiatric impact on patients. The paper also explains that the the effects of trauma are highly individualistic and that the treatment of people affected by trauma should also, therefore, be individualistic.
From the Paper
"The analysis of trauma is complex at best. To understand trauma one must first examine the prevalence of trauma and its impact on society. Research suggests that a majority of individuals will experience some form of trauma at one point or another during their lives (Holman, 2000:808). Trauma by its nature is a stressful event that often presents differently depending on an individual's unique coping mechanisms. To a large degree it is not certain how exactly patients will respond to trauma."

Children and Parental Loss, 2007.
An examination of the impact on children of losing a parent due to divorce or death.

Abstract
This paper examines the problems children face upon the loss of a parent due to divorce or death. The paper provides a literature review which includes long-term studies on the effects of divorce on children. The paper further explains that these effects may include school problems, or more serious issues such as dropping out, drug use and crime. The author cites research that supports the view that the trauma of divorce for children is in some ways more complex and has wider developmental and psychological ramifications than the experience of death. Both death and divorce are extreme experiences in a child's life and both can have a wide range of native psychological and developmental repercussions.
From the Paper
"The possible long-term impact of divorce can be seen in recent figures which show that children from broken homes are often more prone to drug addiction and the dependency on chemicals. A study by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta states that, "... 75% of children/adolescents in chemical dependency hospitals are from single-parent families." (A Generation At Risk) The reason for chemical dependency among children from divorced homes can also be linked to the development of behavioral problems that can result for the effect of the loss of a parent. As a finding for the National Center for Health Statistics states: "1 out of 5 children have a learning, emotional, or behavioral problem due to the family system changing." (A Generation At Risk) "

Disparate Treatment.
This paper discusses disparate treatment, the differential treatment of individuals because of their membership in one or more protected classes, such as African-American, older, or disabled.

Abstract
This paper uses two legal cases to illustrate disparate treatment in business: Monica M. Garcia v. Woman's Hospital Of Texas, which concerned health issues due to pregnancy, and Meacham v. Knolls Atomic Power Lab, which concerned older workers. The author points out that Office Depot, to avoid charges of disparate treatment, provides chairs at the register for pregnant employees who are customer service representatives and has a community-supporting policy of seeking older employees. The paper concludes that employees have multifaceted rights under federal, state, and local statues; therefore, managers must not make judgments without consulting with their legal advisers and human resources experts.

"Ms. Garcia became pregnant while working at the Women's Hospital of Texas. Ms Garcia was forced to convalesce at home by her doctor because of health related issues due to the pregnancy. Her doctor released her to return to work after a few weeks, believing she was fit to perform her duties. The hospital administration, consistent with hospital policy, required the doctor to certify on a prepared form that Garcia could perform a variety of ostensibly required tasks. Her doctor certified that Garcia could perform all of the listed tasks with the exception of pushing, pulling or supporting 150 pounds. (Garcia V. Woman's Hospital of Texas, 1996) Consistent with hospital policy, Garcia was not allowed to return to work with the above limitation, and after she was on leave for more than six months the hospital terminated her, again consistent with hospital policy."

Abstract
This trial investigates the models that are often used in the treatment of substance abuse in individuals that also have serious mental health conditions. The paper analyzes if dual diagnoses are common and how treatment is different from treating a singular diagnosis. It then compares the advantages and disadvantages of using the Integrated Treatment Model versus the Standard Treatment Model and the degree and incidence of substance misuse that is reduced with the use of both models.

" Lastly the standard treatment model acknowledges that significant others play a role in recovery. The institute asserts that during the initial stages of treatment family members complete a detailed questionnaire concerning the client's alcohol and/or drug use and the ensuing consequences (Owen, 2003). In addition counselors may have other meetings with family members during the assessment phase to gain more information about the client (Owen, 2003). In addition the families may be invited to participate in a separate family program where they will be taught more about the nature of addiction (Owen, 2003). There may also be a family conference that takes place near the end of treatment during which the counselor, the client, and the client's family discuss any concerning issues and review goals as they relate to discharging the client (Owen, 2003). The majority of families will also have to seek aftercare and may attend Al-Anon (Owen, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper delves into the form of treatment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) known as Multimodal Treatment and the research being done for Attention Behavior Deficit Disorder. The paper explains that multimodal treatment combines pharmacological treatment with physical accommodations and behavioral therapy to help individuals with ADHD perform at a higher level than treatment with medication alone.
From the Paper
" Imagine over 2 million children in the United States affected with a psychological disorder which is chronic and significantly disabling. Children who suffer from this disorder are frequently highly emotional, may be aggressive, tend to be underachievers and may feel highly agitated and frustrated most of the time. These children are often lonely and isolated from peers as a result of the unpredictable and erratic behavior that characterize this disorder. In their teens and early adulthood suffers of this disorder are more likely than peers to drop out of school, use illicit drugs (Garber, Garber, & Spizman, 1996), change jobs frequently and often experience depression (Solden, 1995). This is the landscape for the estimated 3 to 5% of United States children diagnosed as having Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)(Garber et al., 1996). The most common treatment for this disorder consists of medication to alleviate symptoms. However, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2000), multimodal treatments that consist of a combination of behavioral therapy and medication provide better outcomes for children with complex problems like ADHD. Specifically, The National Institute of Mental Health conducted the NIMH Multimodal Treatment Study of ADHD (called the MTA Study)(U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 1999). The MTA Study documented 579 children over a period of 14 months. The children were divided into four groups; a control group, a group which received medication, a group which recived behavioral therapy, and a group which received multimodal treatment. This study demonstrated that after 14 months of treatment, children who received combined treatments performed better in six outcome areas ?social skills, parent child relations, internalizing symptoms, reading achievement, oppositional and/or aggressive symptoms and parent and/or consumer satisfaction- whereas children receiving only medication improved in only one to two of these areas and children in the control group and in the behavioral therapy groups showed clinically significant improvement in any of these areas (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1999).

Abstract
This paper looks at how Rape Trauma Syndrome (RTS) brings fear and anxiety to the very area of life that should bring intimacy and comfort. Studies of individuals in society and in the prison population have shown the devastating physical and emotional impact that the invasion of the act of rape can cause. Invasive sexual abuse in childhood or as an adult can cause symptoms ranging from panic attacks to drug abuse. It is important that those who offer sexual counseling be aware of the specific signs of RTS so that they can offer more than standard treatment to free individuals from the deep pain and fear that is held by those experiencing RTS.

Abstract
This paper hypothesizes that medical professionals, specifically nurses, must understand that the lives and future lives of African-American children are impacted when they witness violence. The author points out that the literature review does indicate that children witnessing family abuse are negatively impacted in many areas of both cognition and emotional regulation and that these children generally are depressed and joyless. The paper relates that this study demonstrated that an overwhelming number of African-American children witness family and community violence and that more than two-thirds of African-American children are not assessed for family violence trauma and go untreated.

"...is a case study and discussion of a child whose mother was shot and killed while the child was nineteen months of age by the child's father who killed himself two weeks later. The child was noted as having separation anxiety and timidity or reluctance to discuss either of her parents. Further the child believed that someone was going to 'get her'. It was revealed in the study that the child did in actuality remember the traumatic event due to her extreme reaction to the sight of blood and particularly her grandmother's red coat. "

Treatment Planning Defined
Relevance of Treatment Planning in Psychotherapy
Treatment Plan Overview
Stages of Treatment Planning
Characteristics of a Good Treatment Plan
Hypothetical Treatment Case - Depression
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Bray, Falvey & Hebert (2005) define treatment planning, as a "frequent and universal judgment task" often required of mental health practitioners interested in promoting positive patient outcomes. During the treatment planning and conceptualization process, clinicians work to help problem solve and predict outcomes for patients using various clinical judgment strategies (Bray et al. 2005). This process while complex allows favorable outcomes for a majority of patients and improves clinical performance thus is vital to the success and well being not only of patients but also of the caregivers working with them (Bray, et al. 2005).

Abstract
This paper discusses child abuse and statistics regarding this phenomenon. Some historical perspective is given to explain the roots of child abuse. The author devotes attention to psychological damage inflicted upon children.
From the Paper
"Each day that we sit here blinded by our own reality three children die in the hands of abusers (Parents facing up to child abuse 1). The general definition of child abuse is nonaccidental injuries as a result of physical assault or the failure to protect the children by their caretakers (Wolfe 15). It?s common knowledge that child abuse is the nations number one killer of children under the age of five. In 1998, about 900,000 children in the United States were confirmed to have been abused. In 1999, the state of Texas had 39,488 confirmed victims (Parents facing up to child abuse 1)."
