Her presenting symptoms, in correlation with the violent nature of the trauma she experienced, indicate an early diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Peter-Hagene and Ullman (2015) correlated the severity of PTSD with the severity of violence during the attack.

This method is called Response to Intervention, or RtI, which is a three-tiered intervention with universal supports at tier one, and more targeted supports at tiers two and three (Franklin et al., 2012). Some school-based interventions employ universal supports in tier one, while others use tier two and tier three supports to provide more targeted intervention and prevention services to children who are identified as at-risk. A study by Cheny, Flower, and Templeton (2008) revealed that RtI is an effective method for identifying students at-risk for emotional and behavioral disorders and at preventing these disorders. RtI methods help school officials to identify students who are at-risk for developing disorders early and providing these students with resources to prevent them from
SPARCS incorporates elements of CBT with a focus on mindfulness and problem-solving skills (De Rosa et. al., 2006). The intervention consists an average of 16 weekly group sessions that are about an hour in length. As adolescents increasingly value autonomy and independence during this stage of life, the influence of peer groups intensifies dramatically. Thus, a group intervention such as SPARCS may be especially powerful for this population and allow youths to connect with peers that are often experiencing similar traumas.

In relation to the prevention of psychological harm, the children should have been immediately released after an allocated amount of time if no behaviour, distressed behaviour or aggressive behaviour was displayed. One of the child participants sat in the enclosure for a total of 15 minutes with no attempt of escaping (Bain et al, 1958). Therefore, if the study was to be conducted in 2016, after one minute of no activity, the child should be removed from the enclosure. Also, at the first sign of distress or discomfort the child should be immediately removed from the experiment and returned to their parents or caregiver and comforted until they are happy. Another ethical issue within the initial experiment was deception.
Additional risk factors include having a caregiver who has untreated/unresolved trauma and who may have difficulty with affect regulation, depression, anxiety, and/or hostility/aggression (Harris, et al., 2004).

As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others. One of the most common types of play therapy for children is child-based therapy, in which a therapist and a child work alone. This is often used if there is a concern about the parents or abuse in the family, but can also be done simply to make the child feel more comfortable. It can be used to treat behavioural problems, anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), autism, and the effects of abuse.
