For professionals like counselors, child and family social workers and therapists, and others caring for traumatized children, Dyregrov, a clinical psychologist, lecturer, and consultant for UN organizations, explores the different reactions children may have to trauma, its impact, and how to help them through therapy. He describes children's reactions during and after traumatic events, including post-traumatic stress disorder; trauma at different life stages; trauma and domestic abuse and memory; gender differences; the significance of friends; risk and resilience factors; interventions and therapies like group and cognitive-behavior therapy; the role of schools; and the reactions of helpers.
