  • Title: Stress in children exposed to violence. Reenactment and rage.
    Author: Pfefferbaum B, Allen JR.
    Journal: Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am; 1998 Jan; 7(1):121-35, ix. PubMed ID: 9894083.
    Abstract:
    Violence is a major public health problem that increasingly involves children and adolescents as both victims and witnesses. Exposure to violence is now implicated in the development of stress conditions. This article uses Terr's typology to describe responses to various kinds of violence and suggests that the posttraumatic stress model adds a unique dimension to our understanding of the effects of violence on children and adolescents.
