Treatment options for children and adolescent trauma survivors
Treatment options for children and adolescent trauma survivors can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and crisis management to reduce anxiety, worry, and fear of repeated trauma. Play therapy is an effective method often used with young children with posttraumatic stress disorder because they often have difficulty dealing with trauma directly. Cases in which a child or adolescent is acting out sexually in response to a sexual trauma or in which he or she may be using drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism as a result of trauma often require additional treatment modalities.
For this Assignment, review the media program Trauma and consider the symptomology of PTSD and how trauma can affect children and adolescents. Then, select a different type of childhood or adolescent trauma from the one you selected for the Discussion. Consider the posttraumatic stress symptoms that are likely to occur and what type of treatment interventions you might use to treat the child or adolescent. Also, think about how you might support or educate parents or guardians as they attempt to support their child or adolescent.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Describe a major trauma or event that may occur to children and/or adolescents.
Describe three potential symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder that may occur as a result of the major trauma or event, and explain why these symptoms may occur.
Describe one intervention you might use in treating this type of trauma. Justify the selection of your intervention using the week’s resources and current literature.
Explain two ways you might educate or support the parents/guardians as they help their child or adolescent through the trauma. Be specific.
h a population of 1.3 Billion people and 800-900 Million who are eligible to vote, India calls itself the largest democracy in the world (“National Interest”). India runs a federal form of government and proclaims that they can transfer power peacefully every five years since 1951, except for Ghandi’s experiment of autocracy in 1975 (“National Interest”). The political environment is greatly influenced by factors such as government’s policies, politician’s interests, and the ideologies of several political parties (“PESTLE-ANALYSIS”) The democratic will of the people is reflected in the local and national elections and is mostly accepted and also respected by the people and their politicians. The political culture of tolerance is a very dominant factor when it comes to maintaining a stable political climate. This is very important in order to attract FDI. However, sporadic political unrest is not very uncommon. For example at the moment India is preparing for its mammoth general elections, which are held every five years. One political unrest which has been around for the past year is the increasing violence against minorities since the pro hindu sentiment five years ago. (“lowyinstitute”)
One major area of political concern in India is corruption. Currently India is ranked 78/180 with a score of 41 on the corruption index (“Transparency”) Although India does not show the best results it shows a steady increase and less corruption every year. The Indian government created initiatives to combat the challenges of corruption. In 2018 Parliament passed the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act introducing changes to the existing anti-corruption law (“Lexology”). India does this to be more democratic and also to be more interesting for other countries. Often companies do not consider FDI is because of corruption rankings in the desired country.
