Prior to the twenty-first century, most cases that involved trauma towards a minor were not evaluated close enough to reveal the psychological and social damage children were experiencing. Experts believed children possessed an innate attribute that allowed them recover quickly from oppression or abuse. However, in the novel The Boy who was raised as a Dog, Bruce Perry exemplifies how despairing experiences can psychologically damage a child’s brain and leave permanent damage that guide dysfunctions in behavior and cognition. Perry urges how healing sessions and social interaction with positive role models, are key to help children cope with traumatic experiences that direct their life.…

The author is mindful and fully aware of the benefits of best practice when issues of child protection and protection of fellow professionals are at risk. Our particular model is aimed at providing a “personal centred approach. This provides the client with a sense of social inclusion, empowerment and independence in making their own choices and decisions. This essay illustrates my own personal framework to practice through the use of a case example. It stresses the importance of young people receiving a full assessment to allow understanding of a young person’s behaviours and the importance of evidence based practice in addressing their needs. It identifies how other dynamics such as the power of organisational culture can impact on the care a young person receives. It stresses the difficulty of ensuring a balance between adhering to evidence based practice and statutory regulations against ensuring a homely normal environment and being open to adaptation. Although it promotes evidence based practices it identified the importance of being able to adapt to suit the needs of the young person. The concepts of inclusion, consultation, communication and the key-working relationship all proved vital in every young person’s progress. The importance of being aware that rehabilitation is a long process that involves taking things at the young person’s pace is promoted in this essay. I remain firm in my belief that every child is a unique individual and the importance of adapting a varied, inclusive approach to interventions to ensure paramountcy of child welfare in our work is…

It is amazing, ridiculous, and sometimes scary how the brain deals with trauma. It is also ludicrous to believe that your environment and how you are treated are not always believed to strongly affect children. The first story in this book is a very moving one. I thought it interesting and appropriate that that was his first child patient.…

Recognizing signs of abuse is extremely important because not all children and youth disclose their abuse and some may not even realize that what they are experiencing is abuse. By recognizing that a child is displaying indicators of abuse and reporting it, Child and Youth Care professionals are advocating for their clients in a way that most children and youth are unable to, as well as providing children with a chance to experience a life free of abuse if it can be proven that the children are being abused. The ability to separate yourself from the youth’s negative experiences and feelings is also vital for Child and Youth Care practitioners because it reduces the chances of burnout and helps create healthy boundaries between the Child and Youth Care practitioner and the client. Additionally, in working with abused children, it is essential that Child and Youth Care practitioners are able to deal with challenging behaviours. Often, maltreated children are unable to communicate and cope in appropriate ways as a result of the abuse, causing them to engage in difficult behaviours as a way to communicate or cope with their emotions. The listening and attending skills that…
Child abuse and neglect is considered to be a social and public health problem that can have significant negative developmental impacts on children from infancy to adulthood (Noll, Shenk & Putnam, 2009). The concept of child maltreatment is a broad and all-encompassing term that is used to describe several ways by which children can be subjected to mistreatment by adults. The abuse is considered to be a violation against children 's rights issue hence attracting the attention of community psychologists. Child maltreatment is defined as any behavior being directed to another individual that contravenes the acceptable norms guiding how people should be conducting themselves and that subjects a child to a significant amount of harm. The nature of child maltreatment goes against the core values of Community Psychology. This is evident in that the practice is contrary to the requirements of morally acceptable human tendencies (Harkness & Lumley, 2008). It indicates human’s inability to nurture each other in adverse life situations, depicts a failure to bond with others and to appreciate the linkages formed with each other. Child abuse and neglect expose children to adverse consequences that affect them throughout their lifetime.…
Children are suffering from a hidden epidemic of child abuse and neglect. Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States involving more than 6 million children (a report can include multiple children). The United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect. 1, 2…
Department of Health and Human Services, n.a.). As stated in the DSM-V a trauma must be specific to qualify for criteria A, because of the lack of details regarding the neglect cases complex trauma and sexual abuse were considered for the literature review.

Complex trauma would include at least of the two above mentioned forms of child maltreatment (Children's Bureu of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,…
