Neonatal/preverbal trauma and its implications on treatability in the psychologically traumatised child
Klaus Martin Beckmann
Griffith University, Australia
P
erinatal trauma comes on several spectra quality, intensity, duration, frequency and locations. Some newborns will be more
traumatised than others. In selected infants, especially in the case of congenital physical health compromise, subsequent
psychological trauma may endure for months, sometimes years and tragically sometimes a life long. Resilience to psychological
scaring and PTSD will be discussed. This presentation outlines treatment options for toddler and infant. Whilst primary
prevention is not possible to achieve after harm has been experienced, the focus is on therapies, secondary and tertiary
prevention. Several psychological and psychosocial as well as systemic treatment options are presented in an attachment
informed context. There will be a compound case presented and the presentation will be free of jargon and hands-on.
