Nowadays there are still too many children who are victims of unrecognized violence and therefore not protected and helped. Boys and girls who experience repeated traumatic experiences have a high risk of developing psychopathological disorders in adolescence and young adulthood, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and, in more serious cases, psychoses or mood disorders.

Following the principles of the most recent scientific evidence, this volume offers the tools for understanding the effects that trauma can have in the developmental age together with complete indications for their treatment thanks to the contribution of psychologists, child neuropsychiatrists and researchers involved in the care of child victims of abuse and mistreatment suffered during childhood.
