Featuring Dr. Bruce D. Perry, Chief of Psychiatry at Texas Children's Hospital and founder of the Child Trauma Academy, this comprehensive five-part series presents the latest information on childhood trauma and its causes and effects. This series provides caregivers, teachers, health care providers, and others with observational criteria for identifying traumatic behavior in children and with techniques for intervention.
