“…Living in care negatively affects children's emotional well-being, selfconcept, and behaviour, which is corroborated by the scientific literature. For example, several studies demonstrated how children and adolescents exhibited high rates of traumatic symptoms (Fischer, Dölitzsch, Schmeck, Fegert, & Schmid, 2016). Berens and Nelson (2015) provided evidence of some harmful effects caused by institutionalisation in minors, such as extreme emotional overexuberance, nervous excitement, silliness, coyness, hyperactivity, cognitive delay, indiscriminate friendliness, quasi-autistic behaviours, and excessive playfulness with parents and strangers alike.…”

“…As we have mentioned in the previous sections, at least 50% of foster children exhibit emotional and behavioural disorders resulting from negative experiences that occurred while living in a centre (Emerson & Lovitt, 2003;Fischer et al, 2016). By having children read classic authors, DLGs enabled the creation of a safe and free space in which adolescents could express their life experiences not only with their educators but also with their peers.…”

Research on out-of-home child care has revealed that foster care programmes focused on educational attainment and reading have the potential to improve the academic outcomes of children in care. However, no studies have examined which elements of these programmes positively benefit children's emotional well-being. This article presents evidence of the positive effects of implementing a successful educational action, dialogic literary gatherings, in a children's residential care institution. A qualitative study using a communicative-oriented methodology was conducted and involved five participant observations and eight daily life stories with children in out-of-home care in Catalonia (Spain). The children's reflections demonstrated that reading classic books, such as Dickens' Oliver Twist, deeply influenced their feelings and self-conceptions and created new and exciting meaning in their lives.

“…chronically poly-victimized (Terr's type II) versus single type/incident trauma exposure (Terr's type I) (Terr, 1991;Finkelhor, Ormrod, & Turner, 2007;Ford, Elhai, Connor, & Frueh, 2010;Gustafsson, Nilsson, & Svedin, 2009;Holt, Finkelhor, & Kantor, 2007). Further, when primary caregiving relationships are disrupted as a result of caregiver impairment or multiple out-of-home placements (Fischer, Dolitzsch, Schmeck, Fegert, & Schmid, 2016;Ford, Connor, & Hawke, 2009), as many as 30-50% of these children are poly-victims and receive multiple psychiatric diagnoses, yet few (< 5%) are identified with PTSD by clinical or research diagnostic criteria. Thus, the combination of interpersonal victimization and disrupted primary caregiving is associated with complex paediatric psychiatric morbidity (D'Andrea et al, 2012).…”

Background: Developmental trauma disorder (DTD) has been proposed to describe the biopsychosocial sequelae of exposure to interpersonal victimization in childhood that extend beyond the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Objective: To characterize the psychopathology comorbid with DTD and to determine whether this comorbidity is distinct from, and extends beyond, comorbidities of PTSD.Method: DTD was assessed by structured interview, and probable Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) psychiatric disorders were identified with screening modules on the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present/Lifetime version (K-SADS-PL), in a multi-site sample of 236 children (7–18 years old; 50% female) referred by paediatric or mental health providers.Results: DTD (N = 80, 34%) and PTSD (N = 69, 29%) were highly comorbid and shared several DSM-IV internalizing disorder and DSM, 5th Edition (DSM-5) dysregulation disorder comorbidities. However, DTD, but not PTSD, was associated with comorbid panic disorder and disruptive behaviour disorders. On a multivariate basis including all probable DSM-IV disorders and DSM-5 dysregulation disorders, DTD was associated with separation anxiety disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder after controlling for PTSD, while PTSD was associated with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder after controlling for DTD.Conclusions: DTD’s comorbidities overlap with but extend beyond those of PTSD to include panic, separation anxiety, and disruptive behaviour disorders. DTD warrants further investigation as a potential diagnosis or a complex variant of PTSD in children, similar to the adult symptoms of disturbances of self-organization in the proposed International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision (ICD-11) complex post-traumatic stress disorder subtype.
