“…These factors are also consistent with recommendations for core areas of remediation, in the child abuse theory and treatment literature (e.g., AACAP, 2000; Kruczek, Salsman, & Vitanza, In press; Saywitz et al, 2000). Those areas include: fostering a sense of safety; normalizing PTSD experiences; re-establishing healthy interpersonal connections; externalizing responsibility for PTSD experiences; empowering clients; accurate and adaptive labeling and expression of feelings; re-establishing normative adult-child relationships/boundaries; enhancing positive self esteem/concept; general adaptive problem solving strategies.…”

“…Psycho-educational and support groups designed to help parents and teachers support adolescents can also foster the coping efforts of these youth. Several recent reviews suggest that a credible base of treatment outcome research supporting these recommendations is emerging (e.g., Cohen, 2003; Cohen, Berliner, & March, 2000; Kruczek, Salsman, & Vitanza, In press; Saywitz, et al, 2000); however, this research base is still in its early stages. These reviews provide preliminary support for overall treatment effects with psychoeducational and cognitive behavioral interventions.…”

The present investigation sought to assess the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Solution Focused Recovery Scale (SFRS). A principal component factor analysis with varimax rotation was performed on the 36 item SFRS. Three factors were identified as best depicting the factor structure of the instrument and were labeled Social Engagement, Self Care, and Interpersonal Assertion. Reliability analysis on the items and three factors suggested good internal consistency. Discriminant validity of the SFRS was supported by both the lack of positive correlations with CBCL scales and negative correlations between two conceptually opposite scales on the two instruments. The present analyses suggest the SFRS could serve as a valid and reliable instrument when assessing adaptive coping in adolescent survivors of sexual abuse, especially in the context of inpatient treatment.

Traumatic events can produce enduring psychological and physical effects on all those who are subjected to them. Trauma can encompass one-time, large-scale disasters or involve daily experiences that are more localized to a particular individual and his or her family or community. The effects of trauma can cross the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and physical realms in the individuals exposed to the event. Unfortunately, the youth of our society are not immune to the often devastating effects of trauma. Therefore, by understanding the reactions of young people to trauma, being mindful of their developmental periods, and becoming knowledgeable about the traditional and nontraditional treatments that are available, clinicians can tailor their interventions to provide the utmost support and assistance to youth. This article reviews the literature regarding common reactions to trauma in young people and the interventions that are available to assist them.
