Abstract
Childhood and adolescence are times of continuous emotional, psychological, cognitive, and physical development. This chapter provides an overview of childhood and adolescent trauma and the resulting health effects. It outlines current and emerging developments in clinical and research findings among children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. The chapter discusses clinical parameters for the identification, assessment, and psychotherapeutic intervention with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. The chapter describes practice, research, and education implications related to an advanced practice nursing approach to the treatment of traumatized children and adolescents. A variety of therapy options exist that can aid the advanced practice psychiatric nurse in helping children, adolescents, and their families to manage and recover from trauma.
