Abstract | The literature concerning the assessment of post-trauma reactions is well developed for adults, but this is not so for children and adolescents, especially young children. This chapter covers some key trauma assessment issues in the child and adolescent population, which includes derivation and validation problems, the influence of developmental factors, applicability of current diagnostic classification and the use of multiple informants. The range of available assessment measures are then reviewed, including semi-structured and self-report measures of posttraumatic stress disorder, acute stress disorder, and dissociation. Available screening measures and physiological measures are also reviewed. Directions for future work in this area are made. |
