Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma (JCAT)

Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma is a multidisciplinary platform focused on the biopsychosocial effects of trauma on children and adolescents. Offers prevention strategies, theory, and practical applications for traumatic symptoms, syndromes, and disorders. Fosters understanding of childhood trauma's impact continuing into adulthood. Draws on disciplines such as psychology, medicine, social work, sociology, public health, nursing, law, and education. Underpinned by a biopsychosocial approach, the Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma presents original research and prevention and treatment strategies for understanding and dealing with symptoms and disorders related to the psychological effects of trauma experienced by children and adolescents during childhood and where the impact of these experiences continues into adulthood. The journal also examines intervention models directed toward the individual, family, and community, new theoretical models and approaches, and public policy proposals and innovations. In addition, the journal promotes rigorous investigation and debate on the human capacity for agency, resilience and longer-term healing in the face of child and adolescent trauma. With a multidisciplinary approach that draws input from the psychological, medical, social work, sociological, public health, legal and education fields, the journal features research, intervention approaches and evidence-based programs, theoretical articles, specific review articles, brief reports and case studies, and commentaries on current and/or controversial topics. The journal also encourages submissions from less heard voices, for example in terms of geography, minority status or service user perspectives.
