Psychological Trauma In Juveniles

Trauma will affect children’s development because it does give an impact to their emotion that relate to their behaviour. Traumatise children likely will develop fear and tend to be too sensitive into something that may remind them of the trauma and possibility being aggressive in such a way thinking they need to protect themselves. They tend to have lack in their emotion and may not coping themselves with their surrounding well. Difficulty to get themselves into the surrounding, chances they will reduce their involvement in learning or playing or being around with other people. For not having much interaction may affect their language development and probably having a social issue. With a lesser participation into something, will not helping

The Latino based culture is one of fastest growing ethnicity in the United States. They have the highest sexual and physical abuse rates in the country. Culturally, Latinos require more empathy, family involvement, male inclusion, and psychoeducation. Trauma-Focus Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based intervention, which produce results that reduce PTSD symptoms in the Latino culture. The author explains step-by-step the procedures for implementing TF-CBT. The author explains the theoretical approach to the therapy, which incorporates multiple theories such as humanistic, psychodynamic,

This community of individuals face a disproportionately high prevalence of both trauma and PTSD. One study states that prior to being homeless or running away “approximately 75% of homeless youth report being emotionally, physically, or sexually abused by their families and note these issues are key reasons for running away” (Bender, Ferguson, Thompson, Komlo, & Pollio, 2010). This study states that after being homeless “85% of homeless youth report exposure to at least one form of victimization… which often compound previous trauma symptoms developed before leaving home” (Bender et.al., 2010). This previous abuse leaves the adolescents vulnerable and open to further victimization which can intensify traumatic experience. The adolescents that then fail to remove themselves from these toxic situations, or don’t seek treatment, are at an extremely high-risk for then developing PTSD (Bender et.al., 2010). Trauma is extremely common among homeless youth, but there are certain factors that can intensify and increase the chance of developing

Given these inconsistencies, mass imprisonment has introduced the criminalization of minority racial status, behavioral well-being issue, and destitution. Additional frustrating, the procedure of imprisonment worsens drawback and vulnerabilities among these as of now minimized gatherings (Clear, 2007; Roberts, 2004; Sampson and Loeffler, 2010). Once detained, a man 's entrance to the routine method for a citizenry that advance distance from wrongdoing is for all time disturbed (Reverse social work 's disregard of justice-included adults: The crossing point and a plan, 2012). At present, there are more than 40,000 state and neighborhood statutes that boycott individuals with histories of detainment from access to instruction, livelihood, lodging, and other social and wellbeing administrations accessible to the overall population (Legal Action Center, 2009). Kids with detained guardians will probably have behavioral and passionate issues and are six times more prone to be imprisoned sometime down the road. Since African-American men are likely to be imprisoned than other men, African American kids encounter an exceptional and unique weakness (Mass imprisonment and childhood behavioral problems, 2011). Accordingly, mass imprisonment makes an arrangement of abuse for some of the society 's most helpless

Most children are entering foster care in the early years of life when brain growth and development are most active. It is known that emotional and cognitive disruptions in the early lives of children have the potential to impair brain development. Child maltreatment during infancy and early childhood has been shown to negatively affect child development, including brain and cognitive development, attachment, and academic achievement. The experiences of infancy and early childhood provide the organizing framework for the expression of children 's intelligence, emotions, and personalities. When those experiences are primarily negative, children may develop emotional, behavioral, and learning problems that persist throughout their lifetime, especially in the absence of targeted interventions. Research has consistently found that child abuse and neglect (maltreatment) increases the risk of lower academic achievement and problematic school performance. These children have suffered significant emotional stress during critical periods of early brain development and personality formation, the support they require is reparative as well as

The sample group is of a minimal number and the experiment was only completed once, which decreases the accuracy of results. The source, however, is trustworthy because the experimenters assessed criminal offenders with different criminal misdemeanours and childhood physical trauma experiences. This ensures that the results could apply to any person who has been traumatised physically in their

Children and adolescents in foster care represent a highly traumatized population and are at an elevated risk of developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These youths experience a wide range of trauma ranging from familial separation, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, neglect, bereavement, and domestic/community violence. As of September 30, 2014, there were approximately 415,129 children placed in foster care (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2015). The number of children entering the foster care system has dramatically increased in recent decades, and research suggests the surge is due to the rising number of neglect cases associated with parental drug/alcohol abuse, poverty, homelessness, AIDS, and domestic violence

Since children are subject to many stages of harm in adult prisons, they are also prone to recidivism, “Those that survive become more dangerous and reoffend at more serious levels very soon after release from prison” (367). Kids who survive prison are often left with psychological damage and resort in behavioral problems which leads them back in prison with no hope of a proper rehabilitation. They say prison is a dangerous cycle. When you are out, you never stay out and the cycle continues because the world does not want you

Richard Ross has interviewed over 1,000 juveniles in over 200 facilities all over the United States, he has gone to detention centers, correctional centers, and treatment centers. He has also worked alongside with the police department and juvenile courtrooms in order to get a better inside on how juveniles feel while they are locked up. All the people he has interviewed are as young as 10 years old to their late 20’s there are both females and males, who are placed behind bars. Almost 3 of every 4-youths detained in a facility for delinquency are not in there for a serious violent crime (Ross, 2012). They are in there for a minor offense, that happened at school against a teacher or student, or juveniles don’t have a suitable home. In a couple of his interviews, the juveniles are locked up at a very young age and it isn’t their first time being locked up they had multiple offense. Also, once they are placed in the criminal justice system, it is hard for them not to live up the stigma of

Lamyia’s DCFS involvement on 12-02-16, Lamyia’s middle son, arrived at school with bruises on the rights side of his face and cheek as well as bruising on his arm, upper thigh and stomach. The marks were parallel, circular, finger marks, linear and other shapes of marks. Lamyia’s son stated that he got hit with the shiny part of a belt and that mother’s paramour whooped him on 11-30-16. The reason for the whooping was he did not enter their home through the correct door causing school officials to believe no one was home when the child was delivered home on the school bus. Lamyia’s son and other two children were taken to Children's Hospital for evaluation due to the injuries on the child. The children remained for three days at children’s hospital.

Adolescents who lack a secure attachment relationship with their caregivers are at a greater risk for dysregulation of affect when experiencing trauma and the developing the symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Insecurely attached children and adolescents do not seek comfort in their caregivers so when exposed to trauma, their coping abilities are significantly hindered. When not able to seek protection and comfort in their caregivers, insecurely attached youth are more likely to be overwhelmed by stress; coping alone with limited resources may cause hyperarousal or disassociation (Perry, 2001).

A set of assumptions or rules on which the practice of an activity is based on is called a theory. It is also a fundamental or a basis used to account for a situation. There are several theories used in counseling practice. However, in this essay, I will only deal with the three prominent theories, which are, Psychoanalytic theory, Behavioral theory and Humanistic theory.
