“…For example, the PTRQ could be used to identify families with particularly negative or anxious parenting practices and facilitate the provision of support or guidance for behavioural change (Cobham et al, 2016). That said, whether child symptoms evoke negative parenting or vice versa remains unclear; it is possible that effective treatment of child PTSS alone may lead to changes in parenting practices (King et al, 2000; Silverman et al, 2008). Overall, these implications underscore the need for validated and reliable measures, such as the PTRQ, to allow for greater exploration of parenting after trauma, in terms of both mechanism research and implications for treatment outcomes.…”

Background: Following a child’s experience of trauma, parental response is thought to play an important role in either facilitating or hindering their psychological adjustment. However, the ability to investigate the role of parenting responses in the post-trauma period has been hampered by a lack of valid and reliable measures. Objectives: The aim of this study was to design, and provide a preliminary validation of, the Parent Trauma Response Questionnaire (PTRQ), a self-report measure of parental appraisals and support for children’s coping, in the aftermath of child trauma. Methods: We administered an initial set of 78 items to 365 parents whose children, aged 2–19 years, had experienced a traumatic event. We conducted principal axis factoring and then assessed the validity of the reduced measure against a standardized general measure of parental overprotection and via the measure’s association with child post-trauma mental health. Results: Factor analysis generated three factors assessing parental maladaptive appraisals: (i) permanent change/damage, (ii) preoccupation with child’s vulnerability, and (iii) self-blame. In addition, five factors were identified that assess parental support for child coping: (i) behavioural avoidance, (ii) cognitive avoidance, (iii) overprotection, (iv) maintaining pre-trauma routines, and (v) approach coping. Good validity was evidenced against the measure of parental overprotection and child post-traumatic stress symptoms. Good test–retest reliability of the measure was also demonstrated. Conclusions: The PTRQ is a valid and reliable self-report assessment of parenting cognitions and coping in the aftermath of child trauma.

“…Fewer studies have been published on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural treatment for children with PTSD (e.g. Cohen, Deblinger, Mannorino, & Steer, 2004;Cohen, Mannarino, & Staron, 2006;Deblinger, Lippman, & Steer, 1996;King et al, 2000;Smith et al, 2007;Stein et al, 2003; for review see Silverman et al, 2008). These studies show that cognitive behavioural treatment is more effective than a waitlist control condition, community treatment, supportive therapy or child-centred therapy on short-and long-term outcome measures.…”

“…For example, some studies include anxiety management procedures in their cognitive behavioural treatments (e.g. Cohen et al, 2004;Deblinger et al, 1996;King et al, 2000), while others make more use of cognitive techniques instead (Smith et al, 2007).…”

“…Trauma-focused CBT has been shown with randomized controlled trials (RCT) to be effective in treating PTSD in sexually abused children and adolescents (Celano & Rothbaum, 2002;Cohen, Deblinger, Mannarino, & Steer, 2004;King, Tonge, Mullen, Myerson, Heyne, Rollings, et al, 2000;Pine & Cohen, 2002). Another RCT has shown CBT effectiveness as a group intervention for schoolchildren exposed to violence (Stein, Jaycox, Kataoka, Wong, Tu, Elliot, et al, 2003), while a similar study demonstrated the efficacy of group CBT for treating PTSD in Latino immigrant children exposed to community violence (Kataoka, Stein, Jaycox, Wong, Escudero, Tu, et al, 2003).…”

A substantial number of children in foster care exhibit psychiatric difficulties. Recent epidemiological and historical trends in foster care, clinical findings about the adjustment of children in foster care, and adult outcomes are reviewed, followed by a description of current approaches to treatment and extant empirical support. Available interventions for these children can be categorized as either symptom-focused or systemic, with empirical support for specific methods ranging from scant to substantial. Even with treatment, behavioral and emotional problems often persist into adulthood, resulting in poor functional outcomes. We suggest that self-regulation may be an important mediating factor in the appearance of emotional and behavioral disturbance in these children.
