Book excerpt: Practical skills for healing the hidden wounds of childhood trauma We’re all a product of our childhood, and if you’re like most people, you have experienced some form of childhood trauma. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are at the root of nearly all mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Memories associated with ACEs imprint on a child’s brain, and can manifest themselves mentally and physically throughout adulthood—even decades after the traumatic incident. So, how can you begin healing the deep wounds of ACEs and build strength and resilience? In this innovative workbook, trauma specialist Glenn Schiraldi presents practical, evidence-based skills to help you heal from ACEs. In addition to dealing with the symptoms, you’ll learn to address the root cause of your suffering, change the way your brain responds to stress and the outside world, and soothe troubling memories. Using the trauma-informed and resilience-building practices in this book, you will: Understand how toxic childhood stress is affecting your health Rewire disturbing imprints in your brain using cutting-edge skills Learn how to regulate stress and emotional arousal Discover why traditional psychological approaches might not be helping Know when and how to find the right kind of therapy Childhood trauma doesn’t have to define you for the rest of your life. With this book as your guide, you will be able to make fundamental changes and replace needless suffering with self-care, security, and contentment.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Objective: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is currently the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder among school aged children. Various studies have found an association between ADHD and adversive childhood experiences. However, there are many conflicting hypotheses about the nature and direction of this relationship. The first aim of the study was to establish whether there is a relationship between adversive childhood experiences and the symptoms, and diagnoses, of ADHD, Conduct Disorder (CD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Secondly, the study aimed to determine whether there is a group of children/adolescents with symptoms of ADHD that constitute a 'complicated ADHD' group. The study aimed to investigate whether this 'complicated ADHD' group had higher rates of adversive childhood experiences, higher rates of diagnostic co-morbidity, and more serious externalizing symptoms. Methodology: The clinical records of 217 consecutively admitted clients of a New Zealand Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) were read in their entirety. Information regarding diagnoses, symptomology, and adversive childhood experiences was recorded and analysed. Latent class analysis was used to group children and adolescents into homogenous groups based on their profiles of ADHD, ODD and CD symptoms. Results: The study found significant associations between adversive childhood experiences and the symptoms of ADHD, PTSD, and other disruptive behavioural disorders. Latent class analysis revealed a group of children and adolescents who had more serious externalizing symptoms (a high number of ADHD, ODD and CD symptoms) and a high rate of diagnostic co-morbidity. This group had a higher average rate of adversive childhood events, physical abuse, and exposure to domestic violence, compared to the other children and adolescents with symptoms of ADHD. Conclusions: The findings from this study confirm other findings that early adversive childhood experiences place children and adolescents at significant risk of developing ongoing issues with inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Furthermore, the study provides tentative evidence that early adversive experiences may create a more complicated profile of ADHD symptoms and perhaps impact the way that ADHD symptoms manifest".

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981, Leonard Pearlin and his colleagues published an article that would ra- cally shift the sociological study of mental health from an emphasis on psychiatric disorder to a focus on social structure and its consequences for stress and psyc- logical distress. Pearlin et al. (1981) proposed a deceptively simple conceptual model that has now influenced sociological inquiry for almost three decades. With his characteristic penchant for reconsidering and elaborating his own ideas, Pearlin has revisited the stress process model periodically over the years (Pearlin 1989, 1999; Pearlin et al. 2005; Pearlin and Skaff 1996). One of the consequences of this continued theoretical elaboration of the stress process has been the development of a sociological model of stress that embraces the complexity of social life. Another consequence is that the stress process has continued to stimulate a host of empirical investigations in the sociology of mental health. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to suggest that the stress process paradigm has been primarily responsible for the growth and sustenance of sociological research on stress and mental health. Pearlin et al. (1981) described the core elements of the stress process in a brief paragraph: The process of social stress can be seen as combining three major conceptual domains: the sources of stress, the mediators of stress, and the manifestations of stress. Each of these extended domains subsumes a variety of subparts that have been intensively studied in recent years.

Download or read book Adverse Childhood Experiences written by Kathleen Brewer-Smyth and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entire world is in crisis with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and other lifetime trauma at an all-time high. This book is a valuable resource to promote optimal brain function for everyone, but especially for survivors of trauma who are particularly at risk throughout the life course. It is critical for healthcare providers, schoolteachers and administration, public safety professionals, foster and adoptive parents, employers and loved ones to understand the potential life-long consequences that ACEs can have in the lives of survivors. This book describes the complexities behind why behaviors occur if hurt people hurt themselves and others. The first half of this book addresses what can go wrong in the brain and body after trauma that potentially leads to life-long poor bio-behavioral health outcomes. The second half of this book addresses how the life-long poor bio-behavioral health outcomes can be prevented, mitigated or potentially reversed. This book is necessary for everyone who is interested in optimizing brain function, especially survivors of ACEs and other trauma throughout the life course who are at greater risk. The major focus of the book is on how to prevent long-term negative consequences of trauma and how to restore the brain, body, behavior and emotions. This book is the winner of four Book of the Year AJN Awards: Awarded 1st place in three categories: Community/Home Health, Creative Works, Psychiatric/ Mental Health; and 3rd place in Consumer Health.No book has ever won this many AJN awards since the American Journal of Nursing began acknowledging high-quality publications in 1969!

Download or read book Examining the Relationships Between School Engagement Physical Activity and Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children Using the Ecological Model written by Minh N. Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence. During these developmental stages, social interactions and external environments can have significant impact on children’s growth and development. Few studies previously used a theoretical model to examine the effects of social and external environments on ADHD. The goal of this dissertation is to apply an ecological perspective to examine the roles of school and community in the development of childhood ADHD through school engagement and physical activity. Three studies were implemented to carry out this goal. Study 1 examined the associations of neighborhood, school, and family characteristics with school engagement. Study 2 assessed the associations between school engagement and ADHD. Finally, study 3 examined the relationship between neighborhood factors and physical activity in children with and without ADHD. We used data on 65,680 children aged 6 to 17 years from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). Results indicated that pediatric ADHD diagnosis and symptoms can be influenced by family, school, and community characteristics. Findings from studies 1 and 2 demonstrated that school engagement, family factors (socioeconomic status (SES) and adverse childhood experiences (ACE)), and community characteristics (safety and amenities) are associated with ADHD diagnosis either directly or indirectly. Meanwhile, study 3 results showed that environmental characteristics (safety, social support, and access to physical activity resources) are related to physical activity only in children without ADHD. Further research is needed to understand the levels and factors associated with physical activity in children with ADHD. Overall, our results suggested that school and community factors should be examined as potential protective pathways against ADHD in children.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder of childhood, and early intervention is critical to promote academic and behavioral success for the child. Several studies have suggested that comorbidities of ADHD are often missed, and that adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are related to ADHD severity. As well, treatment of ADHD occurs most commonly in the primary care setting but there do not exist clear guidelines or criteria for determining treatment endpoints nor cut-off thresholds for the stability of ADHD symptoms. We have therefore defined ADHD treatment stability to be at a level of ADHD symptoms which permits good academic and behavioral functioning, and further treatment adjustments are judged to not be clinically required. The present thesis work examines the relationship between socio-demographic factors, childhood adversity, and the presence of comorbidities on the time to achieve initial treatment stability of ADHD in primary care.Methods: A cross-sectional chart review of children with ADHD diagnosed between 2010 and 2018 in a community pediatric clinic in Montreal, Canada was conducted. 161 charts were reviewed for information regarding the diagnosis and management of ADHD and associated psychiatric comorbidities, socio-demographic factors, and adverse childhood experiences. Associations between these and the time to achieve initial treatment stability were analyzed. Conclusions and implications: This is the first study to quantitatively examine factors that influence the time to achieve initial treatment stability of ADHD in a community pediatric setting. A high proportion of comorbidities and ACEs are found in this sample, and their presence should be considered when evaluating and treating a child for ADHD. Having a comorbidity, ACEs, and a younger age at diagnosis were associated with a longer time to achieve treatment stability, with potential ramifications on a child’s academic and emotional development. Detecting and addressing these factors during and after ADHD workup will help to address academic and behavioural issues for the child"--

Download or read book Disruptive Behavior Disorders written by Patrick H. Tolan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggressive behavior among children and adolescents has confounded parents and perplexed professionals—especially those tasked with its treatment and prevention—for countless years. As baffling as these behaviors are, however, recent advances in neuroscience focusing on brain development have helped to make increasing sense of their complexity. Focusing on their most prevalent forms, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder, Disruptive Behavior Disorders advances the understanding of DBD on a number of significant fronts. Its neurodevelopmental emphasis within an ecological approach offers links between brain structure and function and critical environmental influences and the development of these specific disorders. The book's findings and theories help to differentiate DBD within the contexts of normal development, non-pathological misbehavior and non-DBD forms of pathology. Throughout these chapters are myriad implications for accurate identification, effective intervention and future cross-disciplinary study. Key issues covered include: Gene-environment interaction models. Neurobiological processes and brain functions. Callous-unemotional traits and developmental pathways. Relationships between gender and DBD. Multiple pathways of familial transmission. Disruptive Behavior Disorders is a groundbreaking resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, psychiatry, educational psychology, prevention science, child mental health care, developmental psychology and social work.

Download or read book The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Household Resources Intergenerational Risk of Adversity and Behavior Problems in Subsequent Generations written by Adam Schickedanz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have well-described life-course health correlates including higher risk of common chronic mental and physical illnesses. There is little evidence on the potential medical costs associated with experiencing more ACEs, nor on the associations between ACEs in parents and maltreatment or behavioral health problems in their children. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and its supplements, this series of studies examines 1) the differences in household out-of-pocket medical costs by the number of ACEs that individuals have experienced, 2) intergenerational associations and mediators between parents' reported ACEs and ACEs reported by their adult children, and 3) the risk of child behavioral problems as a function of parent ACE counts. I find that increases in self-reported ACE scores are associated with increases in out-of-pocket medical expenses, showing a novel link within individuals between health care costs to the ACE score. Across generations, I find that parent mental health and parenting attitudes partially mediate the associations between parents' and children's ACE scores. I show that children's behavioral health problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and childhood emotional disturbance diagnoses, are positively associated with their parents' ACE scores with partial mediation by parent mental health and parenting attitudes as well. These findings extend the growing literature on ACEs and suggest opportunities to improve clinical practice through risk stratification based on ACE scores. These studies also validate an approach for studying ACEs and their financial and health consequences using the PSID.
