Abstract |
This paper outlines a treatment approach for children and families exposed to violence that aims at decreasing traumatic stress symptoms in children and increasing emotional regulation. Using an Internalized Other Interview within a narrative framework, the child and therapist engage in a reconstructive process to heal the narrative disruption brought about by violence and trauma. It involves a reprocessing of traumatic material and a reworking of damaged attachments between parent and child. The author draws on concepts derived from relational psychodynamic theory and narrative therapy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract) |
