Developmental Perspectives on Trauma

This volume addresses an issue with far-reacing societal implications. The contributions, by eminent scholars in the field, bring theoretical perspectives and research knowledge to bear on elucidating the impact of traumatic experiences on developmental processes; they cover topics covered include areas such as war-related trauma, community and domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, and divorce. As a whole, the volume will be an important addition to the libraries of those conducting research on traumatised populations, as well as clinicians who are striving to prevent or ameliorate the adverse effects of trauma on development.
