This workshop focuses on trauma exposure’s developmental impact on children and youth over time. Children who repeatedly suffer overwhelming events beginning early in life that cannot be emotionally or cognitively processed, experience both extensive symptomatic distress and simultaneous developmental disruption.

However, trauma’s presence often goes unrecognized due to the extensive symptomatic distress it produces. The multiple overlapping symptoms it generates often mimic other DSM disorders and obscures the presence of a trauma history. This omission complicates diagnoses and treatment. Most importantly it obscures awareness of trauma’s impact on development.

This interactive workshop will use a detailed case study of a 13-year-old boy as the basis for identifying trauma’s disruptive impact on his development. Group discussion of each case handout will be actively facilitated, with the expectation that the participants will identify his developmental disruptions and also develop evidence supported hypotheses about “what’s happening to him”.

Small breakout group discussions will be given useful tools for organizing complicated information. Discussion results will be presented to the whole group to help further recognition and response to his distress.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between trauma delayed, disrupted and inhibited development and symptomatic distress
• Develop clinical reasoning and case formulation skills
• Summarize effects of multi-generational family trauma
