Relational Trauma and PTSD in Adolescence

Started Aug. 27, 2024

Abstract or project description

Tanvi is writing a review paper on the effects of relational trauma on the development of PTSD in adolescence. The paper will explore key literature on attachment theory, stress, and trauma, focusing on how childhood maltreatment can disrupt caregiving relationships. It will also highlight the role of positive caregiving as a protective factor against trauma-related disorders like PTSD. Additionally, the paper will examine the diagnostic challenges and implications for interventions, offering a comprehensive overview of how relational dynamics influence adolescent mental health outcomes.
