This web site provides access to selected articles from the The CHILD
SURVIVOR of Traumatic Stress, a newsletter for professionals who have
dealings with traumatized children. As most people in this field are aware,
traumatized children have generally been ignored by researchers, theorists,
and even practitioners until recently. The CHILD SURVIVOR of Traumatic
Stress is intended to serve as a forum for those of us who are concerned
with gaining a better understanding of the impact of traumatic experience
on children.
Some of the articles in this web site are selections from earlier issues
of the newsletter. Some have been abbreviated. Others have been updated
or expanded upon. Many new articles have been added that have yet to be
published in the newsletter. So me of them will never be published elsewhere.
The newsletter is currently published annually and distributed free to
interested professionals. I'm not sure I will continue publishing hard
copies, however. I find it easier and more immediate to publish directly
on the web. However, if y ou are a professional with an interest in traumatized
children and would like a copy of future editions, just contact me via
the above e-mail address, regular mail, or telephone. I will add you to
my mailing list.
Contributions to the newsletter are encouraged. If you have an idea for an article, please contact me with the idea. I am interested in summaries of research, theory, and clinical treatment. Other kinds of communications are also encouraged, including relevant anecdotes, observations, letters, suggested readings, and so on. The newsletter (but currently not this web site) also published calls for collaboration and letters.
