Abstract

How are we to understand a child's development--both the potentiating and inhibiting factors? The past two decades have witnessed intensive research both on mental trauma and its possible effects on the child's developing brain, and on the importance of risk factors and protective factors in children's development and health. Research in these two fields has been conducted concurrently and has yielded new, important, and in many cases complementary, information. To promote the general availability and clinical applicability of these advances in our knowledge, it is necessary to modify our conceptual approach, basing it on the child's perspective instead.
