In: D. Cicchetti and DJ Cohen (Eds.), Manual of Developmental Psychopathology New York: John Wiley & Sons, 72-93.
The Complexity of Traumatic Experiences • Context • Multiple traumatic moments, even within a relatively circumscribed situation. • Changes in foci of attention or concern • Radical shift in attention or concern when physical integrity is violated • Additional traumatic moments after cessation of violence or threat • Additional dimensions to traumatic experiences • Disturbances in evolving developmental expectations regarding danger Adapted from: Pynoos RS, Steinberg AM, Wraith R: (1995) A developmental model of childhood traumatic stress.

Proximal Secondary Stresses Changes in Family Living Circumstances, Resources Change in Community Resources Change in Family Constellation and Function Change in Availability and Utilization of Social Support Need to Assume New Responsibilities Medical / Surgical Care, Rehabilitation Altered Role Performance Issues of Accountability Acquisition of New Social Skills Intercurrent Trauma, Loss, Life Adversity Adapted from: Pynoos RS, Steinberg AM, Wraith R: (1995) A developmental model of childhood traumatic stress.
