Looking ahead: A vision for the future.

Graduate training and certification in trauma treatment for clinical practitioners.

“…Divergent clinician perspectives may contribute to the reported underutilization of EBPs in trauma treatment (Gray et al, 2007). Gold et al (2017) noted that the underutilization of "best practice" trauma interventions (e.g., CPT and PE) may be linked to practitioners' lack of training in these approaches. Contributing to this problem, the partnership between researchers and community-based practitioners is not always collaborative.…”

“…Contributing to this problem, the partnership between researchers and community-based practitioners is not always collaborative. For example, researchers often believe that since a treatment is efficacious in a research setting, it will be equally effective in a community setting, but community-based clinicians report that these treatments are rarely practical or effective, as they rarely see clients whose PTSD presentation is as "pure" and "simple" as those of research subjects (Gold et al, 2017).…”

Risk Factors of Poly-Victimization and the Impact on Delinquency in Youth: A Systematic Review

“…Children and youth can experience over one episode of violence throughout childhood (Källström et al, 2020). Poly-victimization is the experience of multiple types of victimization (e.g., Ford, 2017; Musicaro et al, 2019; Turner et al, 2012), including childhood neglect, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse, and witnessing violence (Finkelhor et al, 2011). According to research, poly-victims show more anxiety, depression (Ellonen & Salmi, 2011), less positive school engagement, use of drugs, and engagement in violent behavior than children with experience of a single type of victimization, making this phenomenon a great predictor of traumatic symptoms (Ford et al, 2010).…”
