Childhood Trauma Case Study

An article written about the effects of sexual abuse in accordance with male victims, claims: “[t]hree perspectives of early family relationships and attachment theory, developmental psychopathology, and trauma theory provide a conceptual understanding as to why some victims are vulnerable to the effects of sexual abuse while others appear resilient to it.” Although the study's main objective is to understand the developmental effects of male CSA survivors, it also notes that the majority of the data collected about the psychological well being of the sample is also representative of female CSA survivors. In a similar study on the repercussions of sexual abuse in male victims, Scott Eastman depicts a table simply explaining the process of coping, or the problems tied to CSA. Much like a story line, there is a beginning a middle and an end after the initial incident, but not all survivors reach the stages of completion and often times face difficulties coping. In the middle stage of the process, is distraction, obsessive review. These are symptoms tied to PTSD, defined as a disorder which a traumatic event causes flashbacks, nightmares, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. It may reasonably be concluded that the obsessive thoughts are tied to PTSD because reviewing the traumatic experience may give the illusion of understanding to the survivor. In the final Stage of the process, following acceptance, is

Childhood trauma contributes to the development of disorders later in life. Several psychological disorders may be caused by childhood trauma. These disorders may include: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, addiction, borderline personality disorder, and dissociative identity disorder.

Your introduction is very engaging and emphasizes the important role of communication after experiencing trauma. I believe your topic is very relatable because there is a sense of denial, seclusion, and dissociation that correlates with trauma and loss that many of us have experienced. Open communication within a family unit provides opportunities to express thoughts and feelings and develop appropriate coping strategies (Zambianchi & Bitti, 2014). In your intro you stated, "The impact childhood trauma has on our society and on children." As a suggestion, maybe you could expand on this statement or state specific impacts childhood trauma has on our society or on children. I love your examples of evidenced based interventions and how

The incident is in its fifth day with little to no change in status. Dykes continues to be demanding and disinterested in offering any concessions and continuing his initial demands. Dykes is now giving deadlines for which he intends to escalate with violence. We feel the justification for preparation of a plan to assault due to this lack of change is necessary.

Children are naturally predisposed as a minority population as they have significantly less control over their lives due to their age, involuntary group membership (due to age), legal inability to care for themselves, and requirement to have needs and wants met by their parents/guardians. Trauma that occurs during childhood is important to resolve when it occurs because youth are at an optimum vulnerable state during this time period in their early lives. Child Action for Protection refers to the vulnerability of youth in The Vulnerable Child as a child's lack of capacity for self-protection (2010). Children have a tendency and natural naivety to being vulnerable as they do not possess certain life skills that will aid them in proper

The family of Anamalia has undergone both physical and psychological trauma as can be seen in the case study. Eloni and Kolomalu have both faced physical trauma. The short-term effects include the injuries that Kolomalu may get from the physical abuse of Eloni as well as injuries that Eloni faced from his stepfather’s abuse. The long-term effects of physical trauma, according to Brand et al. (2017), may include drug and substance use as can be seen in the case of Eloni. On the other hand, anger outbursts and detaching emotions from actions and thoughts may also be experienced. In the case of Eloni, he already

A trauma from a childhood experience will definitely affects a child as they mature into adulthood. Prime examples of this argument could be superheroes. Spider-Man was affected as a child because he lost both of his parents at young age. When Peter Parker was in high school, his Uncle Ben, who was the closest father figure he had, was murdered. While conducting further research, I discovered that while Peter Parker was talking to a young boy who had been molested by an older man, Spider-Man revealed that the same thing happened to him.

This final project will be extremely difficult for me since, I have no memory of my childhood. I have been in therapy for ten years now, and I still am unable to find out why I can’t retrace any memories. Therapists believe there was a trauma early in my life and I have not come to terms with it. My mother on the other hand says it is “normal” to not remember your childhood. It is difficult for me to really know what is true and what isn’t. It will take a lot of digging into my past to find six life events that have effected my development.

the rest of their lives. This could be witnessing a traumatic experiences or being apart of one. Parents may not realize the harm they have on a child's life just because they are unhappy in the marriage they are currently in. Families try to protect children from the word death and suicide, but if a child is living it is possible for it to happen to them so it is best to be open with your child. This can make you have a close relationship so they can realize how important living in this world really is.

& Blazer (2006), “An independent social determinant of health is the extent, strength, and quality of our social connections with others. Recognition of the importance of social connections for health dates back as far as the work of Emile Durkheim. More recently John Bowlby maintained that secure attachments are not only necessary for food, warmth, and other material resources, but also because they provide love, security, and other nonmaterial resources that are necessary for normal human development” (para 27). It seems as though this is a positive social determinant of health for many people. The reality is many people do not have a positive family system or even friends as positive supports. In my case, I was lucky enough to have family

no difficulties and showed no difficulty getting up from a chair. She did not use assistive devices or bracing materials. Full range of motion was recorded in the shoulder joints, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, and ankles. Cervical spine rotation right and left was 80 degrees, with full flexion and extension. The straightaway walk was unremarkable as was the tandem step test, toe lift, heel walk, one-foot stand, and Romberg test. The claimant did not use any assistive devices. Dr. Keown diagnosed the claimant with chronic right shoulder pain, refractory bursitis, or a partial tear of the rotator cuff. She opined the claimant had the ability to sit six to eight hours, walk or stand six to eight hours, occasionally lift 35 to 40 pounds, frequently lift 10 to 15 pounds and would not require assistive devices (Ex. 7F).

The case study was a case of a victim who had suffered from the traumatic experience and was then under rehabilitation. The traumatic experience lasted for almost five years, during which the victim was subjected to torture, humiliation and feeling of hopelessness. Furthermore, instances of pain and feeling of being an outcast were rampant in the victim's life at the time. The experience was worsened by the feeling of pain that was common in the victim's daily life. The traumatic experience occurred when the victim was in his childhood years, in a social hall within his hometown.

Leadership and educational skills was essential to make a stand for the change of a support person sitting at the bedside of the postpartum patient and obtaining the lower cribs for infant use during the hospital stay. Interactions with the nurse manager, educators, and administrators were necessary to support the need for both of these changes on the Mother Baby unit. The staff was educated on the changes and benefits to provide a safer environment, to decrease the rate of infant falls or drops on the unit. The Leadership Course provided me with the opportunity to advocate for my patients and provide a patient centered care environment during their stay at my organization.

Early childhood, being 3-5 years old is the stage of childhood that has been chosen for discussion. The early childhood stage is a crucial time period for healthy development in children. Many developmental tasks occur during this time of childhood. In an effort to reveal how childhood trauma can negatively impact a child, I will first describe the stages of development between 3 to 5 years of age, and then explain how the trauma might impact the child. When we look at typical healthy 3 to 5 year olds, most experience healthy basic milestones for physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

Children who endure severe traumatic brain injuries not only suffer from physical differences, but they suffer from cognitive and social impairments as well. For example, when returning to school, a child who use to strive in social settings may now be impulsive and blurt out, without knowing the possible effects that it can have. With this being said, school speech pathologist should assist students with long term TBI’s immediately after the rehabilitation stage. It will allow the SLP to prevent certain speech, language, and cognitive issues from arising or becoming worse. It will also allow the SLP to assess the student and determine interventions, and lastly, the SLP will be able to break larger objectives into smaller
