Judith Herman's Trauma And Recovery

This is due to their previous experience with adults who abused or molested them. A child who has been sexually assaulted will feel insecure in the society and feel that everyone is going to hurt them. They will have a little self-possession, feel lonely and irritated. Moreover, the child can sense helpless, fear losing control and lack of respect and trust in authority. It is impossible for them to trust anyone that easily because of the past experiences that they had.

The Wounded Heart The book The Wounded Heart is a book written for the purpose of offering hope for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse. The book examines the reality there are so many victims of sexual abuse who are now adults, and are still suffering the consequences of the abuse they encounter as child, and how these sexual abuse have not only destroy their trust in people, but it has damage their current relationships, how it has impacted their dreams for the future, it has caused people to suffer from anxiety, depression, stress, anger, how it has made them feel with a sense of guilt and shame, even though it was not their fault. This book takes a look at the issues related to sexual abuse, while also looking for God for peace and

ii. Family Dysfunction Theory This theory explains that the family’s interactions may lead to abuse and often abuse occurs in broken relationships. Some reasons why children are confined to violence by a parent is because they are considered as a way of ‘getting at’ the other parent or that he/she may be a ‘scapegoat’, the unacceptable in the family and the cause for all the family’s ills. Kempe and Kempe (1978) suggested that sometimes child sexual abuse may help in keeping the families together; a teenage girl who is being sexually abused by his father who himself is in need of emotional and physical pleasure because such relations have been broken with his wife. However, feminist theorists, Hall and Lloyd (1992), criticized the family dysfunction theory because they lack focus on the power relations within the family.

Children are able to develop into adulthood hole they are seeing the responsibility their parents experience. The children brain in poverty is different from other children because they witness so much violence, housing problems and family issues. These children feel like their is no hope for the future in it can lead to not continuing. This can be extremely hard for a child to achieve success. Not only do they feel like their is not hope but they also feel like there is no going back.

The loss of a loved one can in many cases cause feelings of grief and a wide range of emotions and expressions in children. If handled improperly, the un-acknowledgment of these expressions can be traumatic and detrimental to children. Depression, anxiety, developmental delays, and withdrawal are all serious consequences that can surface if a child’s grief is not properly addressed * (Healing Components of a Bereavement Camp, 12). For these reasons, pediatric bereavement programs are increasing in popularity (The Effectiveness of Bereavement Intervention with Children). The purpose of Pediatric Bereavement camps is to provide an outlet for children to express feelings of grief and bond with children who are expecting similar emotional

There is a significant difference between finding reasons and looking for excuses. The reasons why a child becomes a bully does not justify their misbehavior, but perhaps they will help us to understand it. On the part of the victim they do at their early age an insecure person, nervous, withdrawn, isolated, etc., many times the children no longer want to attend school for the same fear and in some extreme cases they arrive at the suicide. The damage lies primarily in their personal safety and low self-esteem to feel that their existence is worth little. This article pertains to my question regarding what is bullying because reading many articles I did not find a precise definition for

It becomes clear that the harsh treatment has had a negative effect on her psyche. In some episodes, she is depicted as being emotionally disturbed and fragile, something that is derived from her desperation for approval, love, and affection from her loved ones. The issues facing Meg makes her a more complex character who transcends the requirements attached to the role played by a quintessential elder sibling. Middle children in typical American families are usually seen as excellent negotiators, as they are individuals who are not used to getting their way, and therefore, have to survive as skillful manipulators. However, the middle children may also suffer from esteem issues due to the lack of attention or uniqueness, and usually dislike conflict resulting in them being taken advantage of by those close to them (Salmon and Schumann 17).

Many disloyal people were abused as kids or disregarded. They didn’t get the love and attention they needed as they were growing up. Many cheaters have also witnessed their parents being in destructive relationships as well. Thus, they develop this fear of solitude that they become dependent to their spouse or partner. The ironic part is that their fear of being alone is that one factor that leads them to find someone else as a sort of a contingency plan.

Children’s bodies and minds act differently from an adult’s; thus they deserve to be treated accordingly . But mothers and sometimes fathers tend to abuse their children’s youth in order to win the crown or to even participate. The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act as amended by the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010, defines child abuse and neglect as, at minimum: •"Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation.” Stress, deception, anxiety, eating disorders, sexualizing the kids and bad perception for the future are all signs the kids exploitation and abuse. The pageant world for young girls can ultimately ruin their childhoods, the costumes and the makeup and the big hair sexualize these little girls, way before they could become sexual. .

As its name says it is an insecure type of attachment. In this kind of early attachment the mother is regularly inconsistent in her responses to the babies’ needs. The parents either tend to over react to their infant or fail to help the infant from engaging socially. Appropriate research from Siegel has shown that mothers experiencing depression and other psychological disorders tend to vent it out on the child thus resulting in excess trauma and suffering for the child. Resultantly, these infants develop a confusing situation towards attachment in adulthood.
