Abstract

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious psychological disorder that can occur in children and adolescents after particularly stressful experiences such as natural disasters, accidents and the experience of sexual or non-sexual violence. Even the verbal mediation of such an event seems to be able to trigger PTSD in adolescents and children (e.g. the message/photographs of the violent death of a family member). It is suspected that children from the age of 3 can be affected by PTSD. For the basic dimensions of the symptoms and the individual symptoms, please refer to the relevant chapters of this book.
