With a focus on building cross-disciplinary collaboration to better serve this vulnerable population, this is an indispensable resource for all mental health and human service professionals working with children at risk.

'This is a very timely collection of research and thinking from experts in the field of violence prevention' - T. Berry Brazelton, Harvard Medical School

'Osofsky helps the reader understand the significance of trauma for young children from a multi-perspective view. The book addresses the impact of trauma on neurophysiology, attachment, and culture, as well as the importance of family. Treatment interventions and current policy issues, such as foster care and the court system, are also considered. Used in a graduate clinical practice course, this book provides students with a solid introduction to the myriad and complex issues that traumatized children experience on multiple levels.' - Kathleen Monahan, DSW, LCSW, MFT, Director, Family Violence Education and Research Center, Stony Brook University, USA

This book is full of practical information on the assessment and treatment of young children exposed to trauma and violence. Clinical and systems issues are explored with sensitivity. In addition to direct intervention, vivid case examples illustrate how helping professionals can intervene in the important caretaking relationships surrounding the child, and can form partnerships with those in the courts, law enforcement, and child welfare. - Robert N. Emde, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

This volume gives voice to young children who have been traumatized or abused; to those struggling to help both victims and traumatizers; and to individuals working in our nation's courts, clinical settings, and child welfare systems. Treatment and intervention are given a base founded on research, tested in practice, and motivated by caring. This is an extremely important and valuable book. - Samuel J. Meisels, President, Erikson Institute
