Description

Developmental Trauma Theory, Research and Practice explores how early childhood trauma affects human development and adaptation to stress. This comprehensive introduction examines relational traumas and adverse childhood experiences that shape future relationships.

The volume delves into the impact of developmental trauma on self-regulation capacities, identity development, and faith in oneself and others, as well as its connection to comorbidities such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. It also considers the effects of toxic stress embedded in social systems and institutional policies, leading to psychiatric and medical problems, social and economic adversities.

Author Daniel Cruz goes beyond individual-level analysis to explore institutional betrayal, including sexual assaults and workplace bullying, and judicial betrayal, highlighting failures from the legal system that do not adequately protect victims of trauma.
