<P>While recent years have seen a vast increase in the literature on adult trauma, interest in childhood trauma has only recently started to gain momentum, encouraging new research and evidence-based interventions.</P>
<P>Here the editors have brought together an international list of contributors to look at both innovative and established treatments of trauma in a range of contexts, and provide up-to-date coverage of what is on offer in prevention, assessment, treatment and research.</P>
<P>Divided into three parts, main topics discussed are:</P>
<UL>
<LI>risk and protective factors for the development of post-traumatic disorders</LI>
<LI>conceptualizations of resilience and suggestions for making them operational</LI>
<LI>evidence-based treatment models for traumatized children</LI></UL>
<P><EM>Treating Traumatized Children</EM> provides professionals with an up-to-date international perspective on the subject, as well as helping professionals and researchers develop future treatments based on current evidence.</P>
