Implementing an integrated family approach in mental health care for families experiencing complex and multiple problems
For youth care professionals who work with families with complex needs, we implemented an interagency, family-focused approach involving child and adult mental health care services and child protection services. The primary objective of the collaboration was to minimize fragmentation in service delivery and to improve practitioners' self-efficacy in supporting families. A total of 50 families were enrolled between 2020 and 2023. Quantitative desc…
An integrative treatment model of EMDR and family therapy for children with severe symptomatology after child abuse and neglect
Children who endured child abuse and neglect (CAN) may develop a spectrum of symptoms that goes beyond the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) alone. This can pose unique challenges within the treatment context that may hamper the application of direct trauma-focused treatments. A new treatment model, which focuses on more than PTSS alone, has been developed. Through preparatory work, it aims to engage children in trauma processin…
Victims of Child Abuse Dropping Out of Trauma-Focused Treatment
A Cohort Study on the Effect of Parental Mind-Mindedness in Parent−Child Interaction Therapy
Parent−child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a short-term, evidence-based intervention for caregivers with children aged between 2 and 7 who exhibit behavioral problems. PCIT is effective, but has a high attrition rate ranging from 27% to 69%. We hypothesize that a low level of parental mind-mindedness—the parent’s propensity to treat the child as an intentional agent with its own thoughts and emotions—might contribute to premature attrition or cau…
A resilience enhancing trauma‐informed program for children and mothers in domestic violence shelters
In domestic violence (DV) shelters, offering psychosocial support services to mothers and children is vital. The program ‘Time for Tony the Turtle’ has been developed for mothers and children residing in DV shelters in the Netherlands. It aims to foster attachment and regulation skills, which can also prepare for trauma treatment if sought after later on. This qualitative study explores the experiences of mothers, children and professionals with …
Dealing with Moral Challenges in Treatment of Transgender Children and Adolescents
Treatment teams providing affirmative medical transgender care to young people frequently face moral challenges arising from the care they provide. An adolescent’s capacity to consent, for example, could raise several issues and challenges. To deal with these challenges more effectively, several Dutch treatment teams started using a relatively well-established form of clinical ethics support (CES) called Moral Case Deliberation (MCD). MCD is a fa…
Medical Research Involving Children – Giving Weight to Children’s Views
The quality of health care for children depends much on the availability of relevant results from medical research with children as subjects. Yet, because of their vulnerability and assumed incompetence to take part in decision-making, children have often been excluded from taking part in medical research, so as to prevent them from harm. Empirical data on children’s competence to consent to such research used to be rare, but recent developments …
Increasing Resource Parents’ Sensitivity towards Child Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms
Resource parents are often insufficiently prepared for recognizing and managing posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in their traumatized foster children, which can put a successful foster placement at risk. The Resource Parent Curriculum (RPC) developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network is designed to increase resource parents' sensitivity towards child PTSS. This study explores the effect of the RPC on resource parents' recognition…
