Abstract
Summarized by Liz Angoff, Oakland Unified School District, Oakland, CA The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), a four-session, caregiver-child intervention designed to prevent the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children who have been exposed to a potentially traumatizing event (PTE). [...]the study did not differentiate between different types of traumas, which may affect one's ability to recover.
